Preparing A-Arms and Skid Plates
Preparation time is approximately 0.4 hour for plastic triangular arm protectors.
Preparation time is approximately 0.6 hour for aluminum triangular arm protectors.
1. Using the appropriate workshop equipment and If the vehicle is equipped with A-arm protectors, lift the front of the vehicle safely. Lock the vehicle in this position. Remove the front wheels.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with A-arm protectors, refer to the “OPERATIONS CHART - A-arm protectors” to
determine the type of protectors and the appropriate operations to be performed.
- If the vehicle has one of these A-arm protectors go to step 3.
- If the vehicle does not have any of these A-arm protectors, go directly to step 4.
3. Remove the protectors and
attach the drilling template (with adhesive tape) on the
protector using the markers illustrated according to the protector template. Then:
- Mark the holes to be drilled using a centre punch and a hammer.
- Mark the cuts to be made.
- Remove the drilling template.
- Perform the operations indicated in the operations chart.
NOTICE When drilling the skid plate, drill the indicated holes to the correct diameter
