WRX & STi Front Skidplate Install Instructions
|
| Equipment
and Tool List: #1 - Primitive Racing Front Skidplate & Hardware (5 bolts & 5 Washers) Bolts = 8x1.25 thread pitch. #2 - 13mm Socket or Wrench, Small Phillips,Med Flathead Screwdriver and Pliers #3 - A friend. Not needed, but it sure helps. |
 |
| Step 1 | Remove packaging and any
protective coating from skidplate, make sure you have the correct
hardware
|
| Step 2 | Raise the front of the car and place securely on jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only with a jack.. Remove existing black plastic under tray using a screwdriver and pliers. |
| Step 3 | (This is where that "friend" will come in handy) Hold skidplate under engine, the foam pads face upwards, note orientation of 3" hole for drain plug (if equipped) |
| Step 4 | Start the 2 rear bolts, then the 3 front bolts. Don't forget to use the washers supplied with your skidplate. They go between the bolt head and skidplate. Tighten firmly using a 13mm wrench or socket. DO NOT TORQUE PAST 20-24 FT LBS! These do not need to be super-tight. You can also use a bit of BLUE Loc-Tite if you wish. |
| Step 5 | Lower car and take her for a spin on the nearest gravel road and enjoy! |
