The dreaded fiberglass hood sprung spring rattle

Coming back around to this issue...now that another driving season (for us northerners) comes to a close, I am writing up my list of things that have to be done before next spring!

Speaking of spring (har har) I came to the conclusion last year that I am going to have to pull the fenders...plus I now have a pair of the lower tension springs for the fiberglass hood that are waiting to be installed.

Any tips on pulling the fenders? Any tricky aspects of this job? Is it easy to get them reinstalled with the same alignment?
