Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Safari and 2002 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. Raise and suitably support the hood without using the support rod.
  2. Remove the support rod-to-radiator support bolt.
  3. Remove the support rod from the vehicle.
  4. Use a suitable tool to carefully pry the support rod retainer from the vehicle.
