What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[bee bop]

I know it is not a S550 But this Saturday I replaced the Leather in my Nieces 06.

it took me a minute to figure out also.. i just kept turning it thinking to myself.. it should have come out by now... what i did was ended up sticking a flat head screwdriver in there, sideways, and prying up, from under the bolt head. the bolt is threaded into a sleeve, and wont come out of the sleeve. once the bolt is unscrewed all the way, the whole sleeve and bolt will come out together.

if you take a look at the ford performance instructions (https://performanceparts.ford.com/download/instructionsheets/FORDINSTSHTM-6766-A50A.PDF) in step 2, the first picture, they kind of hint at what needs to be done.. the tips of the needle nose pliers are placed underneath the bolt head, and then the handle is pressed down toward the engine, prying the bolt and sleeve out of its hole.

this is a pic of the bolt and sleeve removed, it resembles the stud and sleeve you'll replace it with.

Thank you very much!

Finally got my wheels in not damaged 3rd set and finished up my calipers and painted a few engine parts I'm not sure i like? Should I put on Matte black emblems?

These would look quite good on your ride my man. Seal them under a layer of hi-temp clear and you should be good to go!

If you could find a way to paint match the emblems to the RTR wheels that would look great.

Looks pretty good. I like the blue. Matte 5.0 emblems, could go either way.
