Changing The Hood On My Baby
Heya everyone. I'm kind of stuck trying to take off my stock hood in order to throw on a Flared Carbon Fiber Hood by Seibon. I know I have to remove the Hood Shocks first, but I don't know how. After that I know I need to take out the window washer fluid lines by pretty much just popping them out. After that I take out the four bolts attaching to the hinges in order to take the hood off. And then I'm good to go on removing it and placing the new one in and reattaching everything. Now you see, I know how to do everything, except taking off the shocks. I don't see any visible spots to unscrew or pop them out from. So, I need help here, because it would be great if I were able to figure it out with some help. Also,the last part of the question is this: When I manage to get the hood shocks off, will I be able to place them back on the new hood, or no?
-Thanks

Thanks everybody, really useful info you all gave. The only problems I still have is HOW to pop them off first. I mean, do I just take the wrench to them? Or do I pop something out first, because they have a ball shaped edge to them. SO I'm still a bit lost.

I use an 8 Iron golf club to prop my hood up. also useful in self defense situations
When I had a CF trunk, i had brand new trunk shocks on it, and it could fling a Poland spring bottle clear across the car. lol
