Raise the hood to it's normal height and hold it there. Now loosen the two rear bolts that hold the hinge to the fender. Now push the hood up another few inches--and while holding it up like this, tighten the rear bolts. You are preloading the springs. Now carefully lower the hood watching for rear hood to cowl contact. This preloading will lower the rear of the hood so it will line up with the cowl and fenders. Huck

I don't think it actually "preloads" them but rotates the rear of the hinges down.

Well I tried the above earlier today but perhaps I need a helper push up while I have the back bolts loosened up and then tighten them down.

On the plus side, I lube up the hinges and I guess it needed it, as the hood really moves up/down better. Matter of fact, the "hood popper" I installed really pops up the hood really good now!
