Kentrol Stainless Steel Windshield Hinge Set, 30427 Installation guide

  • Hello! I have reviewed the installation instructions for the Quadratec Windshield Hinges, models 30403, 30427, and 50403. The document describes the necessary tools and the step-by-step process for replacing your existing windshield hinges with new stainless steel ones. I'm ready to answer your questions about the installation or the product itself.
  • How many people are required for the installation?
    What tool is needed to hold the hex nut?
    What is recommended to use on threads of the stainless bolts?
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the existing windshield hinges starting with
the top half of the windshield hinge. It will take two
p
eople to remove and install the bolts in the lower
half of the windshield hinge. One person must get
their hand up inside and hold the hex nut with a ½”
wrench, while the other person removes the bolts
from the outside. The driver side is harder to get at
the hex nuts because of all the wiring and emergency
brake bracket being in the way. Once the factory
hinges are removed, you can install the stainless steel
windshield hinges using the stainless steel bolts
p
rovided. Install the bolts in the upper half first. Start
all four bolts then snug them but don’t tighten at this
time. Again two people will be required to install the
b
olts in the lower half. First get all four bolts and nuts
started, then tighten all the lower half bolts. Finish by
tightening the bolts in the upper half.
NOTE: We recommend that you use anti-sieze on
all threads of the stainless bolts provided with
your parts.
PART NUMBERS 30403 & 30427 & 50403
Tools Required:
Assorted TORX and Hex Bits
½” Wrench
¼” or 3/8” Drive Ratchets
