tilynb61 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was working on my 64 B755, doing some frame clean up. I screwed up and pulled one of the spring loaded rear mudflaps. Used to worked on engines, not the chassis stuff or I would have known better. Is there a way to reinstall these? Big spring with a lot of tension. When I removed them I removed the bracket fron the frame. Luckily didn't do any damage when it released. Stopped there so at least I have one side still on.

rsb502 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Take the bracket off the frame that will allow you to reinstall the spring. You will need to put the studs thru a piece of metal and put some nuts on as far as you can then pull the hanger out and slip something between the bracket and hanger( I use a long 1/4" bolt. Then reinstall on the truck after your bracket is snugged up pull up on the hanger till you can remove the bolt and release.
