STEP 1
Install the Step Pads onto the step bars with (32) M6X1-20mm
T-Bolts, (32) M6 Large Flat Washers and (32) M6X1 Nylon
Lock Nuts.
IMPORTANT: Don’t hit the step pad with any metal hummer
within step pad installation, or the step pad will be damaged.
The instruction here is for your reference only. We strongly
recommend the professional installer for best result. We are not
responsible for any damage caused by the installation.
STEP 2
Starting installation from the driver side front of the vehicle,
remove the sealing tape covering the factory holes on the inner
side of body panel if equipped, (Fig 1).
Note: All Mounting Brackets and Supporting Brackets for
Driver Side are the same.
(8) M6X1-20mm T-Bolts
(8) M6 Large Flat Washers
(8) M6X1 Nylon Lock Nuts
Note: Rotate 90° after inserting the T-Bolts
into the Channel!!!
STEP 3
Determine the correct procedure to attach (1) Driver Front
Mounting Bracket for your model/year:
Models without factory threaded inserts in body panel:
a. Partially thread (1) M8X1.25-30mm Hex Bolt into the
threaded end of (1) M8 Bolt/Nut Plate, (Fig 2). Thread the
hex bolt in until it is flush with the welded nut, (Fig 3). Use
the M8 hex bolt as a handle and insert the Bolt/Nut Plate
into the oval hole, (Fig 4). Feed the threaded bolt of the
Bolt/Nut plate through one of the hex shaped factory
holes. Thread (1) M8 Plastic Washer onto the threaded
end and down tight against the body panel, (Fig 5). Then
remove the M8 Hex Bolt.
NOTE: The Plastic washer is designed to keep the Bolt/Nut
Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in bracket
installation.
