4 Mark an outline around the hinge plates to aid realignment of the bonnet when refitting it, then undo the four hinge bolts and lift the bonnet clear.
Refitting
5 Refit by reversing the removal operations. If a new bonnet is being installed, position it so that an equal gap is provided at each side when it is being closed.
6 The bonnet should close smoothly and positively without excessive pressure. If it does not, carry out the following adjustment.
7 Loosen the bolts retaining the bonnet lock unit on the bulkhead plenum chamber cover, then locate the bonnet so that the clearance between it and the cowl panel is as shown.

Align the bonnet so that the gap between it and the wing panels is even and set at the clearance shown.
8 Lower or raise the lock unit so that the bonnet is level with the cowl panel and wings. Tighten the securing bolts and recheck the bonnet alignment and release unit for satisfactory operation.
