What torque value is specified for the bumper assembly?

Step 3 of the instructions indicates tightening the assembled bumper to 85 ft-lbs.

Does this installation reuse any factory hardware?

Yes. Several callouts on the exploded diagram are labeled 'EXISTING HARDWARE,' indicating original fasteners are reused at those mounting points.

What tool sizes are needed for this installation?

The document lists 10MM and 12MM sizes near the bottom right, though the surrounding text is cut off.

Yes. One diagram callout applies only to 'VEHICLES WITH RUB STRIP ONLY,' and a note at the bottom references items applicable to vehicles 'PREVIOUS TO 1989.'

This is a scanned, heavily creased factory-style installation instruction sheet showing an exploded parts diagram for a front bumper / brush guard (with skid plate) assembly on a Ford truck. The drawing shows the front clip of a Ford pickup with its grille and frame reference point, plus an exploded view of the bumper, mounting brackets, skid plate, and fasteners keyed with circled item numbers 1 through 23. Callouts distinguish new hardware from 'EXISTING HARDWARE' reused at several mounting points, and one note applies only to 'VEHICLES WITH RUB STRIP ONLY.' The right margin contains a parts item list (numbers 1–23, descriptions cut off by the scan) and a numbered installation procedure of at least five steps: assembling brackets, bench-assembling the skid plate, removing the existing bumper and torquing the new assembly to 85 ft-lbs, attaching the skid plate, and tightening all hardware with a note that the owner should periodically check and re-tighten. A footnote references vehicles 'PREVIOUS TO 1989,' and 10MM and 12MM tool/hardware sizes are listed. Much of the right-hand text is cut off at the page edge or illegible due to crumpling and stains, so the full instruction wording and part descriptions cannot be recovered from this scan.

This document covers pre-1989 note visible ('PREVIOUS TO 1989, which may differ from this 1999 Ford Ranger.
