To remove a hood hinge on a Volvo 960, first, ensure the hood is securely supported. Then, using a socket wrench, remove the bolts securing the hinge to the body of the car. Once the bolts are removed, gently detach the hinge from the hood. Repeat the process for the other side if necessary.
No, the hood is ON the car, not in it.
It is just a painted metal, or bare metal surface so get a bottle of tar remover from the auto parts store like you would use on a car and rub away.
Unbolt the hinges from the body. Be sure and mark their exact location so when you put them back you will have the hood aligned.
Unless you have the proper equiptment, and expertise do not attempt to paint the hood yourself or you will be sorely dissapointed in the results. Remove the hood and take it to a trusted body shop and let them professionally paint it for you.
There are two bolts that hold the hood to the hinge. 12mm head IIRC. Remove those, and lift the hood off the car. Installation is reverse of removal. Don't forget to remove the windshield washer hose first.
To open the hood on the 2000 Beetle if the hood release lever is broken inside the car, you can remove the glove compartment of the vehicle and find the release cable inside the dashboard. Pull the cable to open the hood. You will then need to replace the hood release lever.?æ
