Well I've finally gotten to this point. Don't know if this is a dumb question or not (better to be safe than sorry i suppose) How have you guys taken the hood off, I'm not sure how those springs are going to come off. (Hopefully not with a lot of force!!!) Should I set up a rig to lift it or just get some people. Thanks everybody.

raise the hood (releases tension on the springs, gives you access to the bolts) and have a couple of people hold it while you take out the bolts. Two people can move it pretty easily. One cannot.
