do yourself and your back a favor remove the whole front end.....it was easier to pull the entire front end that it was for my hood. I used some nylon straps around the nose and a engine hoist and removed it myself.... I needed help with the hood...

Bob, just pull the hood it's easy I just did it, but it is a two man job. What I did was remove the front clip first which makes it a lot easier to get to the safety wire, cotter pins and bolts of the hood. After that it a snap.
