1.


Prop your hood open and remove the 8mm fender bolt shown above (Do not remove the rear-most bolt that secures the hood hinge). Place the lower mounting bracket as shown and re-install the fender bolt.  

2.


Use a 10mm socket to remove the forward-most hood hinge nut. Loosen the rear nut about 1/4" (enough to slide in the rear mounting bracket).  

3.


Slide the upper bracket between the rear-most nut and hood hinge and place it over the exposed front stud as shown. Once in place, tighten rear nut and re-install front nut.  

4.


Pop the ends of the strut over the ball mounts on the brackets. Repeat steps 1-4 for drivers side. (Do not slam hood shut yet.) Check bumper/fender alignment by slowly lowering the hood. If okay, remove factory prop rod and enjoy.  

5.




Remove the retaining clip. Place strut on the ball stud. Then reinstall the retaining clip.


**Note: Make sure the retaining clip slides all the way through.
