How to Remove the Top of Your Ford Bronco Alone

There are many ways to remove the top. I have seen people use pulley systems in their garage, I've heard of people tying straps to it and using a fork lift and of course, if you have a friend to help, that makes things much easier.

However, this tutorial, focuses on removing the top when nobody else can help you.

Tools:

T40 torques security bit

T50 torques bit

Ratchet

Impact driver (optional)

Step 1: T40 Torques Security Bit

You can get this torques bit at an autoparts store such as autozone as well as most places that have an extensive tool selection.

Step 2: Use Ratchet on Rear Bolts.

After removing the trim, you will want to use a ratchet to get these two bolts.

Step 3: Remove the Rest of the Bolts

After that, i like to use my impact driver.

Step 4: Disconnect This

Disconnect this, it has a clip on both sides.

Step 5: T50 Torques Bit

Step 6: Remove Bolt

Next, remove the seatbelt shoulder straps using a T50 torques bit

Step 7: Lift and Slide

Carefully slide away lifting up the rear end of the top as there is a notch that locks it in place.

Step 8: Lift More As You Slide Back.

Turn around and place your hands on the ridge in front and slide backwards being careful to keep it from sliding off the edge.

I probably could have started facing the rear, but I felt more comfortable starting facing forward so I could see how far i pulled away and to make sure the top did not slid to the left or right.
