The 2007-2021 Ford Expedition Front Bumper Stud Plates are genuine OEM auto parts that offer improved durability and protection for your vehicle. These stud plates are responsible for securely attaching the front bumper to the vehicle, providing critical support and stability to the bumper.
Installation Instructions:
Replacing the front bumper stud plates on your 2007-2021 Ford Expedition requires a moderate level of automotive repair skill and the following tools:
- Socket set
- Wrench set
- Pliers
- Torque wrench
Please note that the stud plates come without any hardware, nuts, bolts, or screws included, so you’ll need to reuse the existing hardware or purchase new ones separately.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Begin by removing the damaged or old stud plates from your vehicle’s front bumper. Use the socket set and wrench set to loosen and remove any bolts or screws securing the old plates in place.
- Clean the area where the new stud plates will be installed to remove any dirt or debris.
- Take the new stud plates and align them with the existing holes in the front bumper. Make sure they are in the correct position before continuing.
- Reuse the existing hardware or install new bolts and screws to secure the new stud plates to the front bumper.
- Use the torque wrench to tighten the bolts and screws to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications.
- Repeat the process for the second stud plate.
- Check that the stud plates are securely attached to the front bumper and make any necessary adjustments.
The time it takes to complete this installation will depend on your skill level and experience with automotive repairs. However, it usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to replace both stud plates.
