Anyone have the trick to getting the two front bumper shock bolts back in?? Especially the drivers side gives me hours of grief every time.
I found if i get the bumper secured at the sides first it pulls in the center more in line with the two shock bolt holes. Then i can run a guide (thick wire) through the hole to get everything in line. But the drivers side never wants to play ball. The bolt always seems to hang up on that top washer and not get through.
If theres a trick to this PLEASE let me know :)
Beer knuckles :cheers:from the Wagner install yesterday, I put all the plastic trim from the rear of the stock coolers back on. The problem was with the allignment of the two lugs on the cooler that land in the bracket on the car to hold the cooler in place. With the trim on it was almost impossible to get this to happen. Cut the trim away around the lugs on the coolers - and got it to fit in the end.
Just one guy and it took me all day with the hoses changed out also. If you have the time and plenty of skin to spare on the knuckles its not to bad.
If you trim the plastic use a hacksaw blade.. anything else (like side cutters etc) will just crack the trim in all the wrong places. Its kinda brittle.
