Before you can start, you need to open the hood of your Fiat 500. Begin by removing the nut covers using a small flathead screwdriver and prying them off. This will expose the nuts that secure the hood. Proceed to unscrew and remove these nuts using a 17mm spanner.

Once you have removed the two central nuts, you can slide the hood back enough to reach the two rear screws, which also need to be removed. At this point, unscrew the rear bolts from inside the cabin.

Once you have completed this step, you can remove the hood, and you will have finished the disassembly.
