1992-94 Ford Bronco/F-Series Dash Tab Repair Instructions - Sheet 2 (I.S. 6551)

This document is Sheet 2 of 5 of Ford Instruction Sheet I.S. 6551, the official 1992-94 Bronco/F-Series Right Hand Instrument Panel Tab Replacement/Installation Instructions, copyrighted 1994 by Ford Motor Company (Dearborn, Michigan 48121, dated 4-94). The page covers steps 9 and 10 of the procedure. Step 9 instructs the technician to carefully pull the right side of the instrument panel toward the rear of the vehicle and insert a 2 x 4 wood block between the sheet metal and the back of the instrument panel, as shown in Figure 2, which also illustrates the cracked or broken-off tab that the procedure addresses. A note states that steps 10 through 15 require the use of eye protection. Step 10 instructs grinding off the remaining plastic tab on the duct (Figure 3), using 60-80 grit paper and cautioning not to grind through the wall. Figure 3 shows the area to be ground smooth. This sheet is part of a multi-page set (dashfix1-4) documenting a common dash-tab repair for 1992-94 Ford Bronco and F-Series trucks.
