Hey everyone, I have a 95 F250, I was in a Car accident in Early December, wrote off my bumper and stone deflector and also bent my frame as I don't have the impact crinkles right behind the bumper mounts... I have built a new bumper and straightened my frame as best I could, it all looks fine and dandy but my Stone Deflector is caved in and all gross and disgusting, I took the center bolt out, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get this damn thing off!! Haynes has nothing about it and I can't find anything at all on Google or here... I'm just hopping I don't have to remove my fenders!!! Thanks in Advance


PS. This picture was taken before the Frame was bent back and before the bumper was mounted and painted.

 

Are you referring to the grille? I am not seeing a sstone deflector...

 

Or the thin piece below the grille that spans the width of the truck

 

Yes. This piece, Below the Grille and above where the stock bumper would sit.

 

There are two bolts might be two on each side I can't remember on 92-96s that bolt through the fenders. If you got the one in the middle you got the one that goes through the grille support.


I believe that is all the bolts. The ones that go through the fenders are extremely hard to get to at least in my opinion.




To snipeston the stone deflector is the piece below the grille.

Thanks! I just crammed my face in my wheel well and peeled back that splash guard/plastic inner fender piece as much as I could and shoved my phone in there as a flash light, it looks to be 1 bolt per side, probably 3/8ths, Thanks again!

 

No problem. Also I believe it is 10mm. A lot of the front clip parts are metric on 87-96 trucks I believe it goes the same for 80-86s.

gotcha...yeah I have always gone in from the top removing battery tray and coolant overflow/windshield washer resivoir. 10mm sounds right, 7/16ths rings a bell too...

should be a couple of plastic xmas tree connectors on the plastic filler pieces that fill the gap between the bumper and stone guard as well

 

Yeah... Those broke off from the impact of the crash... Atleast I can say I drove away from the accident
