• Q: How to replace the primary hood latch on 2001 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: The first step to replace the hood primary latch requires marking the hood primary latch bolt positions on its latch support before removing the bolts. Use a screwdriver to insert it into the latch clip then raise the cable out from the hood primary latch. You must remove the primary latch support through this process: mark the hood primary latch location on the upper radiator support and then take out the headlamp housing panel and bracket together with the windshield washer solvent reservoir, primary latch support bolts/screws, and the latch support. Install the primary latch support by following the marks from removal and fasten its bolts/screws with a torque of 18 n.m (13 lb ft). Install the windshield washer solvent reservoir alongside the headlamp housing panel and bracket into their respective places. Connect the Hood Latch release cable to the hood primary latch through a cable insertion followed by latch clip attachment. Secure the hood primary latch to the primary latch support by orienting it to the marked bolts/screws then bolt/screw the components and tighten them to 18 n.m (13 lb ft). Check the hood alignment while performing necessary adjustments when needed. The procedure to modify the hood primary latch involves unbolt or unscrewing the fasteners then readjusting the latch orientation following the measurements recorded during the inspection process.
