i'm in the process of taking off the head and doing a HG and ARP headstuds job and when i attemped to take the hood off i notice that i might have to take the whole bracket off w/ it and it seems like the fenders is in the way. so do i need to take off the fenders to take the hood off? stock hood is pretty heavy, maybe it's time for a carbon fiber hood.

 

Its always time for a C/F hood

I did my H/G without taking the hood off....but my back was hurning though lol

 

Remove the two bolts that attach to the hood on each side. The ones that go from the hood to the bracket.

 

hmm...i only saw one bolt on each side. i did see another one but it's just a flat looking circle. i'll check it out tomorrow.
