How are the primary and secondary hood latch assemblies attached and removed from the radiator support on Buick Skylark?

The primary and secondary hood latch assemblies are attached to the radiator support, featuring elongated screw holes for alignment. The primary latch assembly can be removed by disconnecting the hood release cable and unscrewing it from the radiator support, with a recommendation to mark the screw positions for easier alignment during reinstallation. For the secondary latch assembly, the grille must be removed first, followed by the removal of the screws securing the latch to the radiator support, again advising to mark the screw positions beforehand. To install either assembly, the removal steps should be reversed, ensuring that the mounting screws align with their original positions and are torqued to specifications. Additionally, both assemblies should be lubricated periodically.
