Moog End Links Install Question

[Alan Peters]

What sizes wrenches are need to remove the OEM end links and installing the Moog parts? A friend has a 03 Explorer Sport with the same end links as ours and carries the same K7275 Moog part number. I think 18mm on one side but I can't remember.



Thanks!

I can't remember either; I used two crescent wrenches and a pair of channel locks when I did mine though.

The bottom nut is 18mm..the top is easily held by channel locks or vise grips..as the top is actually the head of the bolt..



I've just replaced the end links on my 01 but went back with NAPA because they are chrome..



In the short time that I have owned mine I have replaced every major component under the front end..ball joints..tierod ends...end links..stabilizer bar bushings...control arm bushings..and another front end alignment last Friday..



Unless the wife happens to run over me in the driveway..I hope not to see under the front end of that thing for a long while..
