Arrow Need a "How-to" for replacing Hood Latch
Current hood latch is damaged, as well as hood from an accident. I have a brand new OEM hood latch to install once I swap the hood out. I want to note that the cable is NOT broken. Just need to know what's all involved in changing this thing. I did search but got nothing really for what I was looking for.

The service manual shows exactly how to replace the hood latch.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Also, do I NEED to remove the bumper to do this?

Re: Need a "How-to" for replacing Hood Latch
Probably way easier if you do, at minimum you'll need to remove the clips at the top where the grille is.

Re: Need a "How-to" for replacing Hood Latch
Inspect that hood latch cable closely for straightness and no crush marks.
If it fails on you, it’s quite a operation to snake a “suitable tool” to activate the latch.
