As I prepare for winter fixes on my car I am thinking that if I remove the hood it will make life easier. Now comes the question, have any of you removed the hood by yourself? I read to expect the weight to be 80-90 lbs. What about using ceiling hooks, like those used to hang your bicycle as help and then some kind of wire railing or something to move the hood out of the way. A crank winch may be handy as well. Or maybe this is a stupid idea risking the hood dropping on the nicely painted fenders, or maybe risking bringing the whole garage down :huh:
