Title: replacing headlamp retainer ring.
Post by: Macaroni_Sackaroni on November 02, 2016, 10:18:47 PM

not much of a project. took some effort though since the old screws from the last retaining ring were rusted wouldn't budge. had to lube and heat it to come out.


holding the old ring over the new one the screw holes line up pretty well. the retaining rings are a little bit tighter than factory. honestly would recommend just getting junk yard part instead.

The headlamp in the image is rotated 45° clockwise.  Remove the headlamp and align the three detents on the back of the lamp with the corresponding detents in the bucket.
