What's Included
Included:
- 4 long chrome carriage-style bumper bolts
Not included:
- Nuts (use 8mm nylock nuts and washers)
Why It Matters
Old bumper bolts rust, pit, or round off their square shoulders so they spin when you try to tighten the nut. The carriage-style shoulder locks into the square hole in the blade, and because the chrome domed head is the only part you see on the bumper face, new bolts finish the job instead of letting fresh blades down.
Installation Notes
- Soak the old nuts with penetrant a day ahead. Rusted bumper nuts usually have to be cut or split off. Don't twist the bracket.
- Seat the square shoulder fully in the blade before you snug the nut, and hold the head with a rag so you don't mar the chrome.
- Use 8mm nylock nuts and washers, and snug them evenly. Over-tightening dimples the chrome blade around the head.
- A dab of anti-seize on the threads makes the next removal easy.
