HOOD SUPPORT INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL HOOD SUPPORT BRACKET LH


    1. A0095RO

      Install the hood support bracket with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      18 N*m  { 184 kgf*cm, 13 in.*lbf }

  2. INSTALL HOOD SUPPORT ASSEMBLY LH

    Note


    • Avoid touching the piston rod as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from attaching to it. Be sure to hold the cylinder while servicing.

    • Do not wear cotton gloves or other similar materials when handling the piston rod. Fibers may attach to the rod and result in gas leaks.

    • In order to prevent the piston rod from deforming, do not apply any horizontal load to the hood support.


    1. When reusing the hood support assembly:


      1. A0097EY

    2. A0099IS
