The replacement process for the hood primary and secondary latch starts with opening the hood then marking the Hood Latch to the Hood Latch support bracket using a grease pencil. Initiate replacement of the Hood Latch by removing mounting bolts before detaching it from its supporting bracket. Detach the Hood Latch release cable from the Hood Latch after squeezing its cable retainer so the cable remains unscathed before moving it away. Before installing the Hood Latch you should connect the Hood Latch release cable to your new Hood Latch while placing it into position based on the marks you have made on the support bracket. The Hood Latch needs to be installed through the center support bracket bolts while tightening them to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Next proceed with adjusting the hood before completely shutting it.

The first step for Hood Latch replacement starts with opening the hood to mark the support bracket where the Hood Latch attaches using a grease pencil. Detach the Hood Latch by removing its support bracket bolts and then removing it from the bracket. Before removing the Hood Latch release cable users should grasp the cable retainer to release the cable before placing it aside while avoiding bending the cable. The Hood Latch release cable needs to be attached to the new Hood Latch before the marks made on the support bracket can serve as alignment points. Place the Hood Latch on the support bracket while tightly securing the center bolts at 25 nm (18 lb ft). Validate the hood position before you secure its closure.

Open the hood and note down the Hood Latch position with a grease pencil on the Hood Latch support bracket before beginning the replacement. Begin by taking off the Hood Latch support bracket through the process of removing its mounting bolts. After squeezing the cable retainer you should disconnect the Hood Latch release cable then place it safely away while being careful to avoid crimping the cable. Attach the Hood Latch release cable to the new Hood Latch as you position it according to the marks on the support bracket. Use center support bracket bolts to install the Hood Latch while torquing them to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Use adjustments to the hood before tightly securing the hood in its position.

Mark the Hood Latch at the Hood Latch support bracket using a grease pencil before starting the hood primary and secondary latch replacement. Take off the Hood Latch by disassembling its supporting bolts from the bracket. Handle the Hood Latch release cable with care since crimping it is not acceptable and disconnect it by firmly applying pressure to its retaining cable and placing it elsewhere. First disconnect the Hood Latch from the vehicle then install the release cable on the new latch while following the marks previously made on the support bracket. Screw the Hood Latch into position using the bolts attached to the center support bracket while torquing them to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Gather the hood and set it into its proper position before fully sealing it.
