Hood Support Replacement

My hood supports are wonky at best and I am looking to replace them (after having had the hood fall on me head twice while working on the spark plugs

Is it very difficult or is it something that can be accomplished in 10 minutes? Parts are $20 for two supports on fleabay.

less than 10 minutes. loosen two clips on each side with a small screw driver.

Easiest thing ever... You pop them out with a screwdriver and pop the new ones on. I would say it took me less than 2 minutes...

If you can change you plugs you should not be asking us how to replace the hood supports.

I was asking if it is a simple job or if its a tedious job, after friggin around with the plugs for so long, I didn't (and still don't) want to tackle a job that is a billion times harder than it seems.

My experience with the CL is that something that should take five minutes ends up taking 3 days just because its ass-backwards and it can...

Thanks for the useful post though people answered the question twice in the three posts above yours
