Figure 5:

Figure 6:

There are two small reinforcement kits. One for 1988 and later models and one for 1987 and prior models. This is necessary because a new hydraulic clutch master cylinder mounting pattern was introduced for 1988 models.

1987 And Prior Trucks

Use reinforcement kit E3TZ-7K509-A on these trucks, Figure 5. Comprehensive installation instructions are included in this kit.

1988 And Later Trucks

Use reinforcement kit E8TZ-7K509-A on these trucks. The only part in this kit is the special reinforcement for these trucks. To install it, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the two clutch master cylinder attaching nuts (13 mm) from inside the truck.

2. Position the reinforcement in place over the clutch master cylinder studs.

3. Re-install the two master cylinder nuts, Figure
