Unhappy Help!!! - 2nd Gen N/A

I am having problems with my engine removal....

1. I dont understand how to remove my car hood. I looked at the Haynes manual and all it said was
"remove the two bolts"! I went out and look at the "bolts" and they are double headed!

2. The Oil line bolt tat's bolted from the oil cooler. What size is the bolt? 20mm? 22mm??

thanks in advance.

there is two seperate bolts on each side of the hood. meaning there is 4 bolts totall. It's not rocket science to remove the hood, just be carful, it's heavy/awkwards. you wouldnt want to drop that thing

as far as the oil cooler bolts. i dunno, their big. get some correct tools, and i'm sure you'll find out what size they are.
