Procedures





ENGINE HOOD / DOOR: HOOD SUPPORT: DISPOSAL

1. DISPOSE OF HOOD SUPPORT ASSEMBLY

(a) Secure the hood support horizontally in a vise with the piston-rod pulled out.





(b) Wear safety glasses. Use a metal saw to slowly cut a groove between A and B shown in the illustration to release the gas.

NOTICE:
Although the gas inside the hood support is colorless, odorless, and harmless, metal debris may scatter. Therefore, cover the hood support with a piece of cloth or other material.
