Tow hooks.. Who has installed their own... I have questions..

[TurdFerguson]

Anyone done their own?

 

[Accountant]

Yes.

I was just wondering the same thing. BTW, pics of 8.7L Hemi (in your signature)?

Here's an existing thread on it (found with a quick search).

Question is. the 115 NM bolt. I got it loose but it never comes fully out. it drops down about 3/4" - 1" and just dangles there mocking me. Is it supposed to take force to get it out?

See the thread I referenced above (with guidance by @Agitated).

It was a special order.. code dyslexia

There is a retaining clip on the thread of the bolt.

I used channel locks to pull down the bolt while using impactdriver to free the bolt.

Thanks guys.
Time to go get mean with it.

 

[TurdFerguson]

Done and done.

Looks good!

You can cutout the center of the old bezel and reuse it. Or order a new set for the tow hooks.

Are those OEM/Mopar tow hooks?

I didn't know such voodoo existed. You wouldn't happen to have part numbers would you?

Here you go. They cost $12 to $14 for the pair.

Amazing.. Do you have to take the hooks out to put them on? or will they slip over?

 

[Accountant]

I think you can slip them over. But need small hands to install the bolts on top. You reuse the bolts from the factory bezel and those retaining clips at the bottom of the bezel.

Yeah. those were a ***** to get out. I didn't find any US vendors with that part no#. I have emailed the joint where I got my hooks from. Where did you order or bezels from?

Avondaleautomotive on eBay. They are a Ram dealer in AZ. Really good to do business with.
