MikeP2389 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I thought the hood bolts are regular 6 sided bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I thought the hood bolts are regular 6 sided bolts? x2 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.

digitaloutsider Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah. Every W-body hood I've seen has 2 13mm bolts on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah. Every W-body hood I've seen has 2 13mm bolts on each side. just took one off the other day, should be 13mm I believe /\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
