How to remove 87 TA hood?

Guys,
On the hood hinges there's 4 10 mm bolts then there's what looks like little pop rivets or something holding it on? There's also the hydraulic arms for holding the hood up. How do I remove the rivets and the hydro deals?
Thanks,
Donnie

On my 82 TA all you have to do is remove the 4 bolts, On my car at least the rest of it stays on the car as part of one large hinge bracket type thing. I know thats not very technical but its the best I can do

Ok since I've taken my hood off and put it back on like 12 times since my engine took a ****, I can tell ya this one easily. All you have to do is loosen all the bolts, get a friend to help ya lift it off the car, then there should be a clip on the end of each hydraulic near the part that attaches to the car, pull the clip off the hydraulic will come right off of that part, push it up, then push up the arms and store it in a safe place
