replacing headlamp retainer ring.
« 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.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
