LB7: FPR Install Fun!!!

[Krazykid]

Buy one from one of our vendors, and if none of them sell one, Huckstorf Diesel has them. Then contact Michael (Superdiesel) and have him mod it for you. He WILL NOT steer you wrong.

I was hoping to have one in hand for the R&R. What vendors here sell them?

 

[TheBac]

Id bet Guy has them. SIK may. Alligator could. You will have to ask.....

You will have no problems pulling the bridge out. 4 bolts and 4 nuts. It will make pulling the FPR out super easy. Also make sure you have a magnet incase you let a nut or bolt fall down. Good luck

You should be able to pull the FPR w/o taking the bridge out. What problems are you running into?

I don't think I have the right tool to get the FPR screws out with. I have a t25 and I can put on a 1/4" socket for the top two, but how am I to get the bottom one out? Any tips would help.

 

[bullfrogjohnson]

You will need an extension or a longer t25 allen bit

I have a long t25 just can't get it in there and a wrench (socket) on it to break the screw loose. Kind of hard for me to explain. There is a small hose down there, can I take that loose?

 

[bullfrogjohnson]

the small hose sould be a fuel line and yes you can take it loose

ok I will try to get that loose tomorrow, might give me a little more room to work.

 

[TheBac]

Its a PITA, but you can do it. I could only turn the bit a 1/4 turn at a time.

 

[2500HeavyDuty]

2 inch extension and small 1/4 ratchet, its hard to see it, i try ti get the bit and extension on the bolt first and tap it to place, then put on the 1/4 ratchet, its hard to break loose in such a smal area

I am not looking forward to doing this

 

[Turbotug]

I used a longer torx bit and a 1/4" ratcheting wrench.

Thanks for the tips Guys. Will let you know how is goes tonight.

if it makes it easier on ya, dont strip the bolt unless you want to pull the cp3

I'm going to do my best at Not achiving this goal! I have however managed to get the "easy" one out. Need to return to the harbor freight to look for some more ideas on the other two. I long t25 that I have now is to "fat" to get to the screw. The small t25 bit that I have is to short. Never have the right tool at the right time! Very frustrated. Props to all that have done this project!

Need to get this thing back together before thursday night. Any Help in SC?

 

[TheBac]

You'll be fine. Just calm down and think. You're psyching yourself out, and thats self-defeating.

I used a 2" long T25 with a 1/4" socket/ratchet. Yes, it took a while, but its doable.

 

[2500HeavyDuty]

need something 2 inches long to work in there... and no your tool aint gonna work there




















































j/k :hug: yould get it it takes alot of patience
