Or is that the easy part?The most time consuming part is removing the collets and reinstalling them. They either fall in first time or take 10mins ea. Make sure you use some quality rag to cover the oil drain holes in the head so none escape. I'd strongly suggest you get a 1/4 drive battery powered impact driver to remove and install the tool retainer bolts and a rechargeable rattle gun or ratchet to run the press tool bolts down. Saves bulk time. Don't use a heavy air powered gun or you'll mash out the tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very scarce.FG ones turn up on Gumtree semi regularly.They sell fast. Very, very fast. Gotta be real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pricey.I saw a few soft ones (back when I was only playing with the idea), on Gumtree for only 1-200ish.I could possibly put it up on gumtree that I'll trade my FPV logo one plus sports bar for a flat soft top + maybe $100 my way.Figure the sports bars etc would usually come at a higher price.The cover itself has no actual damage, but it looks like it may have been rubbed up together at some point before I've had it because some of the white from the logo has come away slightly and there's sections of the black that have minor white marks on it which I assume is from the logo. Probably when Ford had it tucked away for storage I'm guessing. I've already got cross bars (I assume they would be the same given mine's a soft top, just designed for sport bar use), so the plastic supports and bars aren't needed.
