I think the easiest way to change out that hinge is to recruit a couple of friends to help. The hood will be very unstable with one hinge removed. Having friends hold the hood while you change out the hinge would be a good idea. I would put one person on the front corner and the other at the back on the side you are removing the hinge from. Help them find their final holding points before totally removing the last fastner and then work quickly to get the new hinge in place and bolted on. Close carefully to check alignment and adjust if necessary.

High fives all around and then break out that 6 pack of better beer you bought for this special occasion.
