"When properly replaced you will have to "wind" the torsion bar back towards the rear of the car and "hook" it using a small "s" hook through that small square hole on the hood and passed around the torsion bar. You will then be able to put the hood back in place. Once it is in place and the hinges tightened down, you can carefully release the bar from the "s" hook and gently guide it into the plastic follower next to the battery."

Sounds simple...not. Does anyone know if this can be accomplished with the hood installed, or must I remove it (again).

Thanks for your help.
