I would remove the bolts so you can collapse the grommets for removal, if I am understand right to reuse the alignment parts again with new module.
The bolt won't remove and is being held in place by the grommet so I was looking for a non-destructive way of removing the grommet and then the bolt should be able to be extracted. The new CCM has new grommets but I need to reuse the bolts and didn't want to destroy the old grommets in case I end up having to put my old CCM back on.

Edit: I'll try some zip ties & hose clamps and hopefully get them off.

Can you lube the bolts, put a torx socket (looks like they have a torx head on the end) on the end of the bolt and bang it out?

I'm an idiot, the bolts will remove without the grommet being removed...they just needed a little convincing (Knipex FTW)

Not an idiot - sometimes we just overlook the obvious.

A little update. Today I installed my Limited steering wheel. I haven't added all the ACC parts yet but didn't want to deal with removing the steering wheel again so I put in the ACC switch in the new steering wheel. Made the forscan change in the SCCM from the as built value of 11 for regular cruise control to 12 so the SCCM knows there is the ACC switches there. I have not driven the truck yet but hitting the on/off button lights up the indicator on the dash. with the "11" in there it did nothing when hitting the on/off button. Will drive it later, battery is being charged right now.

EDIT: drove the truck, the regular CC works with the ACC switch installed now.

Has anyone added acc yet that didn't have the HUD wires attached to the blank? My 501 doesn't have them.

You should have them, I bet the wire connected has fallin or tied off some where else down there. Look and feel around.

Thanks to this thread I am on the hunt for a new F150.

Are there any confirmed installations on a 2018? Short of ordering a platinum there are not many lariats with ACC. Finding a leftover 2017 is becoming more difficult as well.

i was so hoping they were there i took that blank off again to look, but no. I saw the wiring and plug earlier in the thread, but i couldnt follow if simeone had actually added that extra plug and added acc.
