Hood Support Rod: Disposal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- DISPOSE OF HOOD SUPPORT ROD
- Fix the hood stay assembly, with the piston-rod pulled out, on a vise.
- With protection glasses on, cut a part between A and B as shown in the illustration with a metal saw to release the gas.
NOTE: Although the gas inside the hood stay assembly is colorless, odorless and harmless, there is a possibility that cutting tips of the metal saw would jump around, therefore cover it with clothes or something.
