parking brake is set. Wear safety glasses and follow
basic shop safety practices for the duration of this
installation.
2. Use a floor jack to lift the front of the vehicle and
place it firmly on to jack stands so that the front tires
are off of the ground.
3. Use a 21mm deep well socket with breaker bar
or impact wrench to remove the wheel lug nuts.
Remove the front wheels and set them aside.
4. If the vehicle is equipped with electric power
steering, use a 15mm socket and ratchet to remove
the 6 bolts holding the factory skid, and set the skid
plate aside. Disconnect the three electrical connec-
tors from the electric power steering unit.
