:
The Model 2500 has Bay Windows that project beyond the sides of the body. They must be
removed to allow the Surround to slide onto the insert. Each Bay Window is fastened in place with two (2) 1/4"-20 x 3/4"
long bolts. To access the bolts it is necessary to reach into the
fi
rebox. Use a 7/16" socket, nut driver, or wrench to loosen
and remove the bolts. Remove the bo om bolts
fi
rst . While holding the Bay Window, remove the top bolt and the window.
An assistant is helpful. Reverse the procedure to replace the Bay Windows. Tighten the bolts snugly but do not over- ghten.
TIP:
Applying some high temperature an -sieze to the bolts will make future removal easier.
