Removal
1 Open the hood.
2. Golf cars. Remove the jets from the hood 6 (see illustration).
3. Golf cars. Disconnect the washer fluid supply hose and the heater wire from the bonnet, release them from the holder on the hinge 3 (see illustration 48.2) and pull it out of the hood cavity.
Caution! If the old hood is to be reinstalled, tie a string to the ends of the washer hose. When removing the hose from the hood cavity, the string will remain there and can be used to easily pull the hose back into place.

5. Loosen the two nuts 1 securing the hinges on both sides of the hood (see illustration). Do not unscrew the nuts completely.

7. Unscrew nuts 1, release the hood, working together with an assistant, from the hinges and place it away from the work area.
