Rock-Slide Engineering JEEP JK4 STEP SLIDER - Manual (Page 4)

Installation Instruction RSEI 106
7) Insert the 3 slider forks into the 3 body mount bolt slots
a) The slider should fit tight to the Jeep’s rocker side
8) The top side of the slider should be at a flat 90 degree angle even with the front and rear
wheel wells of the Jeep
9) Tighten all body mount bolts to help bring the slider into position on the Jeep
10) This will be the final position of the slider so verify it’s straight, level, even on both sides
and you are satisfied with the slider’s layout
11) Carefully drill a 7/32’’ pilot hole into the center of the holes on the slider into the Jeep’s
rocker side
**It is extremely important these holes are drilled precisely to insure the slider
will fit properly once the nutserts have been installed
a) The body sides are very thin metal so let the drill bit do the work. Don’t push too hard
on the drill or possible sheet metal damages may occur
12) Loosen the body mount bolts and remove the slider from the Jeep
a) You may want some help so that you can support the weight of the slider
13) From the center of the pilot hole, step up the hole size using a 17/32” bit to create a finish
hole that will be used to install the nutserts
14) Install 5 nutserts per side in the holes that were just drilled into the body of the Jeep
a) We suggest using a crimping tool to optimize the integrity of the nutserts to support the
slider
15) If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions
a) Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’ nut
b) Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction
c) Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert is flush against the
body panel
d) Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place
e) If the nutsert is rotating, place a star-lock washer between the 3/8’’ nut and nutsert
f) Once the nutsert is crimped into place completely back out the bolt
g) If the nutsert ever breaks loose and spins, repeat the process and crimp it tighter to
prevent spinning
