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

You must begin service or repairs of the hood latch by taking out the upper radiator sight shield. The hood latch needs marked before removing the two hood latch bolts so the final positioning will be correct. The adjustment of the latch needs checking after bolt removal for new installments to verify correct positioning. The carrying out of hood latch bolt installation requires torque settings at 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) with the hood latch positioned in the upward direction. Disconnect the hood latch release cable from its point on the latch and then remove the latch. You should reverse the removal steps while applying lubrication to the hood latch at the end of installation.
