What tools do I need for 2022 toyota camry skid plate replacement?

so, the other day, I was driving through a parking lot and totally didn’t see that giant speed bump. My poor camry got a little bruised, and let’s just say the skid plate took the hit. I was like great, now I gotta replace this thing.

But I thought, how hard could it be? Turns out, I needed a few tools I didn’t have. A socket set is a must, like you can’t just wing it with a screwdriver. And hey, a torque wrench is cool if you wanna do it right.

And I forgot to grab a jack, which was kinda dumb lol. Did I mention gloves? You’ll need those too unless you wanna grease up your hands. Have any of you done this? What did I miss?

I swapped my skid plate on my 2020 Camry a few months back in my garage in Canada.

All I needed was a basic socket set a ratchet and a few spare washers it’s pretty straightforward honestly.

I’d suggest grabbing a torque wrench too just to make sure everything’s snug.

You might wanna watch a YouTube video. They helped me a lot plus they can save you some headache later.

i learned the hard way that some bolts are super tight just take your time and you’ll be fine

I did my skid plate replacement for my 2022 Camry last summer in Ohio. Honestly it was a bit of a pain. You need a good size socket set and a wrench to get those stubborn bolts off.

Made things easier using a jack to lift the car but definitely take your time. Wouldn’t want to scratch anything up in the process.

I’ve done a few skid plate replacements on my Camry in Ohio. You’ll definitely need a socket set and maybe a torque wrench. I feel like it’s kinda fun getting under the car and tinkering around. Just be ready for some dirt.

i did a skid plate replacement on my camry in the garage one chilly evening i found that a simple socket set and a wrench were enough

I’ve also heard having a torque wrench is handy too guess it depends on how thorough you want to be with it

When I did my 2022 Camry skid plate I found a socket set really handy. Also grab a jack and some jack stands.

Been living in the snowy parts of Canada so I was super careful when taking the old one off.

The bolts were pretty rusty from all the salt on the roads. Definitely get a breaker bar for those stubborn ones.

Good luck to anyone tackling it.

Replacing the skid plate on my 2022 Camry was a bit of a hassle. I had my trusty socket set a torque wrench and a few extensions. I’ve found that having extra hands helps especially when you are lining everything back up.

It’s kinda funny how I needed a flashlight just to see what I was doing even in daylight. Just a heads up though don’t underestimate how stubborn those bolts can be.
