How do i unbolt the hood??

[MikeP2389]

I got in a little accident last week in my 95 monte carlo and i screwed up my hood. So i found a few montes and luminas at a local salvage yard. I know theres four bolts to unbolt the hood but what are the two bolts on each side, they look like some type of star shaped tool is needed to take them off. what type of tool do i need to get them off? thanks

before you take the hood off, use a paint pen to edge around the hood mounts. this way mounting and lining up the new hood is very easy.

the ones you need to look out for is the reverse torx...i f&^king hate those things.

I thought the hood bolts are regular 6 sided bolts?

should be 2 10 mm? on each side towards the firewall, then I think two 8mm/side that hold the piston mounts on? there might be torx bolts on the hinges, leave those alone, just unbolt the hood and leave the hinges in the car.

Yeah. Every W-body hood I've seen has 2 13mm bolts on each side.
