How to service and repair the hood latch on 2005 Ford Explorer?

You can begin hood latch servicing after you remove the three pin-type retainers together with the radiator upper sight shield. The service begins by removing the two bolts securing the hood latch but remember to tighten them to 9 lb-ft (12 Nm) after installation. Detach the hood release cable from the hood latch before taking out the latch. After reversing all removal steps, directly check both the latch adjustment and alignment before installation completion. Apply lubrication to the hood latch once you complete its installation.
