How do you remove and install a hood, and what adjustments are necessary for proper alignment on Nissan Maxima?

The hood is relatively heavy and the procedure of putting it on and off is a little cumbersome so this should be done by at least two people. Start by drawing lines around the bolt heads of the hinge or the whole length or the body hinse for correct alignment, or place blankets or pads over the cowl section of the body and the fenders in order to avoid scratching them when lifting off the hood. Ensure you unfire all cables or wires that should not be useful while you are removing the item. With an assistant supporting the hood, undo the support strut studs from the hood using a wrench, and the hinge to hood screws or bolts and remove the hood. For installation, you just have to do the entire process in the opposite of the said steps. Depending on that, one has to loosen the bolts or nuts and then translate the hinge plate slot in order to come to the fore-and-aft and side-to-side adjustments. Use a pencil and draw a line around the hinge plate so as to know how much the car hood has travelled, undo the bolts/nuts and place the car hood to the right position by using the hinge bolts tighten them and slowly lower the car hood to check for the position. In case of need, the whole Hood latch assembly can be shifted up and down and from side to side on the radiator support so that the hood is tight to the car and level with the fenders. Mark around the hood latch mounting bolts to identify them easily, then, using a wrench, loosen the bolts, shift the latch assembly accordingly, and then tighten the bolt back again until you can completely align the hood with the fenders. Lastly, set the hood bumpers into their saddles on the radiator support, to home the hood dead against the fenders, and occasionally grease the thumbscrew hood latch assembly and the hood hinges with white, lithium-base grease for freedom and reduced wear and fatigue.
