Default Nooby question: how to take off hood

i tried searching but the search engine is not working. I was wondering how to take off my hood on my 98 accord coupe. What are the sizes of the bolt stuff like that. Thanks

um how about getting a friend and grabbing your sockets/wrenchs. then, in a moment of ingenious thinking, try a socket/wrench until you find one that works. believe it or not this does work anyway, there should only be a couple bolts that hold the hood to the henges....the s.o.b is heavy so have someone help you. its taking a hood off.... its tearing down and engine and rebuilding it.

good luck

yup just get some wrenches and take the bolts out of the hinges... or even take the hinges off with the hood.

make sure you mark where the hood was positioned on the hinges with a sharpie or something. youll never get it lined back up right if you dont

depends on the make and model for the hood

*Warning!!! You might get your fingers dirty.

Seriously though its called a crescent wrench, all the bolt sizes you'll ever need (except for allen wrenches, line wrenches, spark plugs, and Torx but...you wouldn't know about that yet)!

A crescent wrench won't work you jackhole. Use sockets and a socket wrench and just take it off. period
