Hood hinge removal

Well believe it or not, I was able remove the washer/retainers from the top, with the hood off. I used several different screwdrivers, a small flashlite, and small vise grips, to subdue and remove the little rascals. There are 2 per side. Accomplished this with a minimal amount of blood loss. LOL. I'll go into battle with the drivers side on Sat. Here's a picture of the offenders, and their beat up companions. :drama: Looks like these are fairly new ones. Old rusty ones may be more difficult to extract.
