PENCIL LINES ON
PINCH WELD
PENCIL LINE ON UNDERSIDE OF
STEEL BRACKET BOTTOM FLANGE
10.
Put one of the 5/16“ bolts through the body metal from
the open door side and through the steel bracket. Line
up the bracket with the marked lines. Mark two more
lines on the outside of the pinch weld that line up with
the lines inside of the pinch weld. Also, using the edge
of the pinch weld as a guide, mark another line across
the bottom of the foot of the steel bracket (refer to
diagram 4).
11.
Take the 5/16 bolt out and remove the steel bracket.
Measure the distance from the marked line across the
foot of the steel bracket and the center of the hole.
12.
Take the dimension from step 10 and measure the same distance from the pinch weld. Mark a line
on the body metal centered between the other outside lines.
13.
Measure across the outside lines and mark another line that will cross the line you marked in Step
11.
14.
Center punch where the lines cross.
15.
Stuff a rag between the body metal and the A/C and rear heater lines to push the lines up out of the
way while drilling.
16.
Before drilling, take the steel bracket and slip it between the body metal and the A/C and rear
heater lines for protection when drilling.
17.
With a sharp 1/8" drill bit, drill out the center punched area. Go back and drill out the 1/8" hole
with a 5/16" drill bit.
18.
Place the steel bracket back into place. Put a 5/16" bolt in both holes to see if the holes in the body
metal line up with the holes in the steel bracket. If the holes do not line up, take a round file or a
power grinder and enlarge the hole until the bolts fit.
19.
Repeat the steps for drilling out the holes for the other
steel bracket.
20.
With all the holes drilled, place your step back into
position. Use the 5/16" hardware provided and hand
tighten the front steel bracket to the vehicle. (Refer to
Diagram 5).
21.
Take additional hardware and hand tighten the rear
steel bracket to the vehicle. NOTE: (if the rear bracket
holes do not line up, loosen the bolts on mounting
foot. This should give enough play to get the holes to
line up.)
22.
With everything in its proper place, go back and
securely tighten all the hardware.
23.
Remove the rags used for drilling.
24.
Tighten the loosened screws on the rubber clamps for the A/C and rear heater lines.
25.
*Follow the same steps for installing the other step on the driver’s side of the vehicle. However,
since there are none, skip over all directions that refer to A/C and rear heater lines. *Also, after
