Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 whats the easiest way to remove the spring out of the hood hinge?
alex's72fgmc Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 a screw driver and a pair of pliers. using the screw driver to lift the spring out of the channel and the pliers to nudge it off. "wear some safety glasses as well they will fly when you nudge em off" alex ------------------ gotta love a house full of parts soon i will be able to assemble it in my house...... http://www.geocities.com/alexs72fgmc 1985 monte carlo ss 1972 monte carlo 1971 monte carlo "parts car"
hamster Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 You can also use a good pair of vise grips to grab the top part of the spring, just make sure they are on good and tight before you pull on it, make sure someone is holding the hood up or you have it blocked, don't let it fall on your head
Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 lol the hoods off so that wont be a problem the hinge is bent so bad cuz of that spring i cant get the hood to align so its time for some redoing.

Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 the drivers side for sure. its bent in about 6 inches... the passenger side hasnt had a spring on it for about 5 years.
