Peugeot 406 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Front hood disassembly instructions

Once the hood has been opened, release the gas springs and unscrew the pins fixing the hood itself to the hinges: in this operation it is advisable to ask for help as, once the pins have been removed, the hood is easily released from its seat and being particularly heavy it could fall and be damaged. If, on the other hand, you have a forklift or a small portable crane, you can also work as shown in the video, ie by tying the hood to the forklift's forks. Finally, if you also want to remove the hinges, the fixing pins are located on the inside of the fender.
