Remove bolts and put bolts back. You may have to adjust the hood latch a bit. Also, make sure another person is helping you or even better 2 other people

You will need 2 people to do this job. The hood quite heavy for you to handle by yourself; unless you don't mind crack your windshield.

+1 You can do it yourself but it's easier with 2-3 people. Trust me.
