Tech Tips


  • Centering bolts are used to mount the hood hinge to the vehicle body and hood. The hood cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute the centering bolts for standard bolts (with washers) when making adjustments.

  • A bolt without a torque specification is shown in the standard bolt chart.
