It's not a matter of how heavy it is, it's because the thing is so awkward to hold and try to set it down in the slots without having two sets of eyes looking around the corner. Based on the fact that you asked HOW to do it, you're GOING to want another person to help you.
    Only if you're incompetent I guess. I don't find it awkard at all - the whole process takes like 10 minutes at the most. :p

          Installation and removal of the hood is very easy by yourself, I cant see any point where another set of hands wouldn't just get in the way.

              step one: cut hole in box

              step two: get a BFH

              step three: remove old hood and replace with new one.


              seriously- the attachment and adjustment points are as simple as looking at them.

                Thanks to the people who actually want to help lol, I was really looking for some tips on it. I didn't know it was such a dumb ass question being completely new to doing anything to cars, but its cool I would give someone a hard time if they asked a question that I thought was retarded.

                      replace the starter. if its an m42 and dosent run after being parked for an afternoon, remove the head without checking anything else, and if all else fails punch a hold in the gas tank to remove the gas for two weeks.
