Removal and installation
Hood Installation Components
1 - Hood hinge; 2 - Rack; 3 - Radiator support seal; 4 - Assembly of the hood; 5 - Hood lock
1. Open the hood and disconnect the washer fluid supply hoses from the hood at the branch point.
2. To facilitate subsequent installation, circle the loops with a felt-tip pen from the side of the hood.
3. Turn out nuts of fastening of assembly of a cowl to loops (see the upper right fragment in the illustration Hood installation dimensions (mm)).
4. If necessary, remove the hood hinge, remove the fender (see Section Removal and installation of the front fender and lockers) and remove the hinge bolts.
5. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Lubricate the hinges and their mating surfaces with anti-corrosion grease. Finally, adjust the position of the hood as described below.
Position adjustment
Bonnet installation dimensions (mm)
1. Remove the hood latch (see Section Removal and installation of locks of a cowl and the hatch of a fuel jellied mouth) and, turning the rubber stops, make sure that the hood is 1÷1.5 mm (or more) below the wing.
2. Having loosened the nuts securing the hood to the hinges, set it in the opening, having achieved the required dimensions.
3. Extend the lock and engage the striker of the lock. Check the lock and striker for slack and tighten the lock bolts. The difference between the gaps BB // CC must not exceed 1.5 // 1.0 mm respectively.
4. Release the hood latch and adjust the height of the hood relative to the headlights with the rubber stops (B-B) and wings (C-C) at the level of 1.0 and 0.2 mm, respectively.
5. Install the lock and move it laterally to align the striker and the center of the lock with respect to each other strictly vertically (when viewed from the front).
6. Make sure that the optional hood latch engages securely with the secondary striker when the hood is released from a height of 20mm.
Note. Do not release the hood from a height of more than 30 mm.
7. Move the lock up and down so that the hammer engages smoothly with the lock when the hood is closed.
8. After adjustment, tighten the stop bolts to the required torque.
