#1: will a center console out of an 2002 ford explorer the same as the yrs before that fit in to the ranger?

#2: can anyone tell me what size bolts are used to bolt down the rear jump seat in a 4 door EDGE? i took put the jump seat behind the driver for my sub box and need to put the seat back in and now i cant find the bolts. i know it takes 4 of one size and 1 of another per seat and stealership said that they are all 8mm x 25mm, but i know different.

#3: whats the easiest way to remove the rubber coating on the radio bezel?


thanks for all the help.

 

what about a 2004 mercury mountineer center console

 

1. on 2 door and sport trac NOT 4 doors
2. bolt head is 13 i think.. and a torq t45 i believe
3. there is no good way
4. NOT 4 door 2002+

 

1. whats the differnce?
2. i need the bolt size and thread not just the head size
3. do you think a flapper wheel or roloc disk would be to ruff?
4 agian, whats the diff?

 

Just sand the **** out of it. You can get it back smooth with wet sanding.

 

The difference with the 02+ 4doors is that Ford redid the interior of the 4 door explorer. The console dosen't match the dash of the Ranger nor would fit the floor shape. From 95+ (I think that's when they started the full console) 4door will fit the Ranger. Then in 02+ the sport trac still used the same design as the explorer and will fit the ranger as well, the sport trac's cup holders a little different then the 95+ Explorer Full Center console.

For getting the rubber paint off use some accetone before sanding and then get some 320grit and wet sand the crap out of it.

 

Brake cleaner works good for the radio bezel let it set till it bubbles, then sand and paint

 

I soaked the bezel with lacquer thinner and it literally peeled off with my thumb.
