If necessary, loosely install a front tow hook fastener to maintain tow hook hole alignment while tightening the rear fastener. Remove the front fastener after tightening the rear fastener. NOTE: For easier assembly and installation, vehicle and all snowplow components should be on a smooth, level, hard surface, such as concrete. 4. Beginning on the driver side, remove the two sway bar bracket fasteners and remove the retained nutclips from the sway bar bracket. Allow the sway bar bushing and U-bracket to separate from the vehicle frame. 1. Remove bumper by first detaching any electrical cords attached to bumper (diesel engine and vehicles with fog lamps). Remove the bumper fasteners and save for reinstallation. WARNING 5. Remove the U-bracket from the sway bar bushing. Enlarge the two holes in the U-bracket with a 17/32" drill to allow clearance for 1/2" cap screws, and save for later installation. Removing the BlockerBeam™ without installing snow plow attachment hardware may affect air bag deployment in a crash. Do not operate the truck unless either the BlockerBeam or the snow plow attachment hardware is installed on the vehicle. Enlarge to 17/32" 2. Vehicle is equipped with a BlockerBeam between the frame horns and behind the bumper. Disconnect the rubber air deflector from the BlockerBeam, then detach and remove the BlockerBeam and tow hooks from the truck frame. Save tow hooks and three tow hook fasteners for reinstallation later in this instruction. Remove and save nutclips and cap screws for reinstallation on bumper mounting bracket in Step 6. Loosely reattach the rear cap screw and retainer nut to each side of the BlockerBeam to prevent loss. Affix tag 66871 to the BlockerBeam using the cable tie provided. BlockerBeam must be reinstalled if plow attachment kit is ever removed and must be transferred when vehicle is sold or traded. 6. Install the bumper mounting bracket to existing frame holes using the self-tapping screw, and the 1/2" x 1-1/2" cap screw with handle, flat washer and locknut. Use only the rear-most holes in the bracket. Tighten these fasteners at this time, then install nutclip taken from BlockerBeam. Remove and save nutclip and cap screw. Attach to BlockerBeam for storage. Bumper Mounting Bracket Tag Nutclip BlockerBeam Lit. No. 64689, Rev. 03 4 BlockerBeam™ is an unregistered (™) trademark of the Ford Motor Company.

Repeat Steps 3–9 on passenger side using 1/2" x 2" cap screws in both holes of the sway bar bracket. 11. Loosely attach cross bar between both pushplates using 1/2" x 1-3/4" cap screws, flat washers and locknuts. Set the center-to-center measurement between the connecting arms to 29-1/8", and tighten these four cap screws and locknuts. 8. Install, but do not tighten, the remaining two tow hook fasteners. CAUTION Protect radiators and cooling lines against damage while drilling holes in frame. 12. With mount firmly against truck frame, drill two 17/32" holes through the side of the frame at the rear of pushplate using holes in the pushplate as locators. Fasten securely using two 1/2" x 1-1/2" cap screws with handles, flat washers and locknuts. 9. Insert the sway bar spacer between the pushplate and sway bar bushing. Loosely attach rear of pushplate using cap screws (1/2" x 1-3/4" in rear hole and 1/2" x 2" in front hole), one flat washer on top of sway bar bracket and one on bottom of modified U-bracket and locknuts. Cap screws and washers may be installed up from below with nuts and washers on top of sway bar bracket as required for clearance. Drill 17/32" holes, then fasten. 13. Tighten tow hook fasteners first, then tighten sway bar bracket fasteners. Next, tighten the 1/2" x 1-1/2" cap screw and locknut passing through the frame side. Lit. No. 64689, Rev. 03 5 October 1, 2007 7176 14. Drill one 17/32" hole through the inboard side of the frame at the front of the pushplate, just ahead of the radiators, using the hole provided in the pushplate as the locator. Fasten securely using one 1/2" x 1-3/4" cap screw, flat washers and locknut. 18. Reinstall the bumper using existing hardware at the frame horns and at the bumper mounting brackets. Reattach any electrical cords removed during bumper removal. 19. The air dam can be notched generally as shown to clear the connecting arms if necessary. Drill 17/32" hole, then fasten. 3/4" 26" 4-1/2" 4-1/2" 20. Attach front of rubber air deflector that was originally attached to the BlockerBeam™ to the bottom of the air dam with the four provided cable ties. 15. Repeat Steps 12–14 on the passenger side. Cable Ties 16. Tighten all fasteners at this time per torque chart. 17. Use cable ties to tie up cooling lines that may contact parts just installed. It is important to provide sufficient clearance between all portions of the cooling lines and the snowplow pushplate components. NOTE: After five to ten hours of snowplow usage, retorque all pushplate assembly fasteners. NOTE: Use anti-chafing material in those situations where sufficient clearance cannot be maintained.
