Re: '28 5-26 Hood Removal / Installation

The hinge pin that engages the firewall bracket is a short spring loaded pin that can be moved forward against the spring to disengage the firewall bracket and allow removal of the hood.
There is a slot in the hood hinge at the rear of the hood to accomodate a small stud which is screwed at 90 deg. into the spring loaded pin. This is used to slide the spring loaded pin forward, out of the firewall bracket.
I hope that makes sense.
Without the spring loaded piece at the rear the radiator must be loosened and tilted forward.
