1992-94 Ford Bronco/F-Series Instrument Panel Tab Install Instructions - Sheet 5

This document is sheet 5 of 5 of Ford Instruction Sheet I.S. 6551, the Right Hand Instrument Panel Tab Replacement/Installation Instructions for 1992-94 Bronco and F-Series trucks (copyright 1994 Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, dated 4-94). It covers the final steps (15-25) of reinstalling the instrument panel after the tab repair. Step 15 instructs drilling two remaining holes using the bracket as a template into the right side of the duct and fastening with truss head rivets, illustrated in Figure 8, which shows the bracket location, the two holes, the tab, and a note to grind one end of the bracket to shorten it. Subsequent steps cover positioning the instrument panel, grinding the tab if needed for clearance (the tab is intentionally long to accommodate body sheet metal variation), installing the A-pillar attaching screw finger tight, and torquing fasteners: cowl top screws to 20 in.-lb (2.2 N·m), the three left-hand side attachment bolts to 22 ft.-lb (30 N·m), left and right bottom braces to 62 in.-lb (7 N·m), the lower right A-pillar screw to 62 in.-lb, and the steering column opening cover to 20 in.-lb. Final steps replace the kick panels and windshield garnish molding and reconnect the battery ground cable.
