Horn removal on C1

[David H.]

I expect I know the answer to this but thought maybe someone of you might have a magical trick to removing the horns from a '62 without removing the hood. I got the drivers side out by inhaling and and holding my breath while holding the hood upright.
I am not being so lucky on the passengers side however.
Any thoughts?

Nothing magical beyond double-jointed elbow and wrist. Be careful, because the nut plate rivets easily break, and then the bolt and nut plate spin. Then you have to hold on to both.

I concur with Mike, but have a helper hold the hood at varying angles after you remove the bolts to the hood support. Protect the paint of the valence edge and the hood with something thin.

I was able to adjust the passengers side horn without taking it out.
