stoney Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to remove the fuse block from my 88 but having trouble, the block has (2) screws but I think they are bolts with nuts in the rear of a secondary housing. I got the block loose but something is still holding it in place. I'm sure this is probably a simple procedure for most, but wanted to get some input before I got any farther.

JeepcoMJ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 There is a small bolt in the center from the engine bay holding the wires into the fuse block. 1/4" drive ratchet, extension, and depending on condition of corrosion, the head will be anywhere from 5.5mm to 7mm. May even measure out standard, so take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Think it has 1 screw (maybe 2) coming in from the other side. (Engine compartment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugalo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The engine side of the connector has 2 halves. Remove the 2 plastic dust covers and look down between the 2 halves. there you will find the center bolt as previously described. remove the bolt. One half of the connector is held captive by the other half, so you will have to play with them to dis-connect them from the engine side of the fuse panel. When you re-install, loosely attach the fuse block from the cab side . If you don't leave some slack in the mounting screws, you can't re-install the center bolt on the engine side..... If you figure out how to remove the pins and sockets from the fuse block, please post the info.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The head on mine was a 1/4 inch. It was driving me crazy trying to find the right MM. I have an 86 and it seems that about half the bolts are MM and the other half are standard. I just keep both sets of sockets handy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
