NF210 bump stop cutting? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

vten · 06-18-2009, 09:43 PM

oh crap

use a good brand of tools such as craftsman or snap on for a start ... mine never had a problem like that before ...

I use the #2 for my bumpstop , I didn't even cut the rear one.....

Do not cut your bump stops with the NF210s. I didn't cut mine and everything is perfect.
The drop isn't low enough to where you need to cut them.

^can someone confirm that?

well I got the strut bolt off, but my looks like I need to remove ther whole wiper to get to the final bolt...

Taiyaki · 06-18-2009, 11:02 PM

So anyone know yet for sure how much of the bump stop I need to cut for my NF springs?

scape · 06-19-2009, 11:16 AM

I don't know much about all this, but I do know one thing, and probably another too:
use better tools! haha
&
the white portion looks like polyurethane, you probably wouldn't be able to cut that cleanly at the suggested size, so they probably mentioned to go all the way down under it. I think keeping the poly might be a good thing, but idk. you can always take more off later

Phaeton · 06-19-2009, 12:06 PM

you need more leverage, and spray the bolt with some penetrating oil.
I'd use a steel pipe on the end of your socket wrench to get more leverage, should be much easier.

BTW I used #2 for my bumpstop.

marcus · 06-19-2009, 12:29 PM

has anyone replaced this without removing the top plastic piece and the wiper..

cali yaris · 06-19-2009, 01:15 PM

^ yes, but you need an OFFSET box wrench to do it. If you use a power tool, you'll have to take all that apart.

cali yaris · 06-19-2009, 01:15 PM

I'd probably go with Brian's advice and leave the bump stops as is. The NF really isn't an aggressive drop.

aeipee13 · 06-19-2009, 03:08 PM

use this type of wrench when loosening those bolts. if you need you can grab a pipe and slide it over the for more leverage.

marcus · 06-19-2009, 03:16 PM

you have to bend that for it to go in.... i decided to not switch the trd but still deciding to get the df210..

for me, the key to the install was having the right tools. i purchased an offset box wrench from sears hardware(craftsman) for less than $20. it was 17mm on one side and 19mm on the other so i used that one tool most the time. also, i needed a 6mm allen key(the 'L' shaped kind - i had a multi-key style already, but couldn't get the angle to work right. any metric allen key set should have a 6mm in it, just be sure it's the 'L' style). for the df's i used part #2 only and the rest of the bumpstops are in my box with the stock springs. 1 week later, it rides great and looks killer! good luck.

Taiyaki · 06-19-2009, 09:29 PM

Yeah I just cut them and used #2, everything is great. love the new look.
