What happens here

To maximize working space, remove the vehicle's hood. This task typically requires two people for safety and ease of handling. Use a socket wrench to unbolt the hood from its hinges. It's recommended to remove the front-most bolts first; the rear hinges can temporarily support the hood's weight, making the final removal safer and preventing the hood from buckling. Once unbolted, carefully lift the hood and place it in a safe, designated area to avoid damage.

Goal: Maximize workspace in the engine bay

as well as the road trips with this um you can find them on the uncle george playlist where this video and subsequent videos will be found did i sound technical enough can i start talking like i'm a minute if you take off the front ones first it's much easier to manage because if you take the back one off the weight of the hood is going to make it want to buckle take the front ones out and the bracket kind of holds it and then you have to have less time under strain also figure out where you're gonna put the hood before you're holding it and then you are like oh my god what am i gonna put this thing
