umodelnut Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Today Papa and I got quite a bit of work done on the U. The first thing we did was we took off a piece under the air cleaner where the hood hinge is on. Heres a picture of what we found under it.

Freightrain Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Heres the drivers side hood hinge.That's actually the LATCH, not the hinge. The hinge is the part where the hood pivots(kinda like the doors on a house). Those spring latches hold the hood down(not like it could fly up since it opens forward).Remember when using a rachet(or any wrench), to look in the immediate area to what you could bang your knuckles on. Guarantee you will slip and hit that exact spot no matter how careful you are and how straight you have the wrench.I can still remember back about 10-12 yrs ago, I was working in the front fenderwell of my race car. Using a 3/8" rachet trying to get a bolt loose. I was pulling TOWARDS my face as I leaned in the fenderwell. (remember that statement above?). I slipped and sucker punched myself in the face with my own fist(holding the rachet). Dammit. It's not "IF", but "WHEN" it will happen. Just a word to the wise.
