How do yo remove the hood on a 2012 pro?

[TIM]

I was curious on how you remove a hood on a 2012 pro. I am assuming i will need some torque bits. What size? Where are all the fasterners at? etc.

the owners manual was no help.


thanks

Just make sure you do not cross thread the 2 torx screws by the steering post when reinstalling them. They can be kind of a pain in the butt and easily cross threaded.
