My experiences with subject front hood thing.
Open the hood and spray every screw and anything that looks like a screw
with the penetrating oil of your choice. Obtain a set of the funny screw
drivers that fit the screws and commence to strip them out. Dig deep in
your seldomly used vocabulary of four letter words and apply more of them
than the amount of penetrating oil used. Obtain a pair of vice grips and
twist out the screws while recalling even more of those lost words.
Hopefully you won't twist off any screw heads. Add three hours and Hey
your'e done! For each twisted off head add two hours.
Hope that this helps.
