MancheKid86 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 well thank you :yes: its nice to have some feed back on my work :wrench: it wasnt too hard, i disconected my roll bar removed the 8 bolts to the bed then disconected the ebrake, wiring, and dropped the gas tank. i used a 3 foot breaker bar to remove the bolts, make sure you soak them into penetrating solvents. and tighten then un-tighten over and over as you are removing the bolts, this will clear any crud that is caked on the bolts. i broke 4 or 5 of the bed bolts. so i have to pound out the old bolts n coils. i used this gator grip socket to get stripped bolts out, worked like a charm http://s.kmart.com/is/image/Sears/9990000003389511 will be going out of town for about of week, so i will update when i get back finished my license prohibition, so i will be on the road right quick no more stupid drivin for me, thats how i lost my first MJ Mary Jane ***EDIT*** PS. i get my sister to help me lift the truck bed :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
