95 ranger Bed

I'm trying to get the bed of my 95 ranger, so I can rustolium the frame, but the first bolt I tried to take out I snapped, any suggestions on getting the bed off?

If the bolt snapped the just get the rest out and the bed will come right off....then deal with the broken bolt after the beds off.

 

soak it with wd40 when doing my shocks i soaked my bolts for everyday for about a week in preparation. and you could try heat.

=======================
What are you usin to take the bolts out, impact, breaker bar or ???

I've taken off half a dozen beds off over the years, some multiple times, and have never snapped a bolt. I use a 450lb impact.

Just curious...........

 

WD40 or PB blaster should do the trick to loosen up the bolts.

 

Im using a breaker bar, I got two out and snapped one so I gave up and put them back in.

 

Get a little propane or map gas torch! like 30 seconds and have someone losen em from the top

 

I used a short breaker bar, with a 2 ft galvenized pipe from Lowes, they came right off.

 

I like this option!!!!

 

if you need to break em all you can replace the bolts with 8.8 grade bolt and nuts from your local hardware store and they work fine, thats what i use

 

please dont do this near your gas tank

 

So I got 5 of the six bolts out, breaking two of them, but I have a problem, I stripped the last one and it didn't even loosen, what should I do?

 

This.. It's what the Bl kits come with(just 3 inches longer)

 

try drilling it out or cutting it.

 

I ended up grinding the top off it.

 

Dont rustoleum your frame you will be simply wasting your time and money. If your using the undercoat crap they sell, itll look good for a while then it will go back to looking how it does currently. POR15 use that from my understanding from a few people you dont even have to prep the frame and I know that stuff last and makes your frame look new.

 

ive seen the truck in person, its not worth the money to por15 it

 

I wouldnt even worry about it then. If its that bad, which im guessing thats what you mean.

 

yeah its worth the cheap ****, not the good stuff

 

lol Spray paint and more spray paint can make it alot easier
