At he back of the V8 emblem, if you lift each hood side, you will see a screw [one each side]. Remove those screws. Then you can lift off the front hinge retainer. it simply slides out of the channel that forms the hinge.There is another retainer at the back, however, I leave that in place. This helps with lining up the hood when you go to replace it. With the front retainer removed, simply slightly lift front of the hood and slide entire hood forward off of that rear retainer.
The front of the V8 emblem is attached at the front by another screw, accessible once you lever off the enamel Ford badge [it simply clips into place on the V8 emblem].... I fully remove the V8 emblem prior to lifting off the hood, not absolutely necessary, but it does prevent accidently damaging it or the hood.
