I just got done dealing with this I'm a thread I probably in Body & Trim. But I had one of the springs that had came off of its post and I had to recoil it and preload it. Oddly enough though when I had one not connected the other one would hold the hood up by itself. They're on their extremely simply just are held on with those retainer Clips like you put on the end of a little red wagon to hold the wheels on LOL I don't know what they call them. But there's one that holds the main hinge on at its other end and one that holds that spring leaver on. I bought some new ones at Ace Hardware.
Remember leverages your friend and your enemy, BE CAREFUL!
