Step 1
Starting on the driver side, measure back from
the rear edge of the front wheel opening and
make a mark at 8-3/4" and 30-5/8". These will
be the mounting locations for the front hole on
each mounting bracket.
Note: Dimensions may need to be
adjusted forward or backward to avoid
drilling through spot welds in the pinch seam.
Step 4
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole in each of
the marked locations. Enlarge each
hole using a 3/8" drill bit.
Note: Place a putty knife between the
pinch weld and the rocker molding to
avoid damaging molding from drilling.
Step 2
Hold each bracket in its mounting
location and mark each hole on the
rocker panel and pinch weld.
Step 3
From the underside of the plastic rocker
molding, use a flathead screwdriver to
release the rocker molding retaining pins.
Note:
Do not fully remove the rocker molding,
as this will damage the trim and require
replacement. Only remove the retaining pins.

Step 5
Install the U-bolt into the top two holes
by inserting the threaded side first through
one hole, then back out through the other hole.
Secure with the plastic bolt retainers.
Slide two clip nuts onto the pinch seam
over the bottom two holes. Secure the front
mounting bracket to the U-bolt with 5/16"
flat washers and flange nuts. Secure the
clip nuts with 5/16" lock washers and M8 bolts.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 8
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole in each location.
Enlarge the upper two holes using a
19/64" drill bit, and enlarge the pinch
seam holes using a 3/8" drill bit.
Step 6
Assemble the AC bracket using two
M8 bolts, flat washers and flange nuts.
Step 7
Using the measurements from step 1,
locate the bracket and mark all four hole
locations on the rocker panel.

Step 9

over the bottom two holes. Secure the AC
bracket using two thread-cutting bolts and
5/16" flat washers in the top two holes, and
two M8 bolts and lock washers in the pinch
seam holes.
