Rock-Slide Engineering JEEP JK2 STEP SLIDER - Manual (Page 3)

Installation Instruction RSEI 107
STEP SLIDER INSTALLATION
1. Remove the stock rocker guard if equipped.
2. Move the slider into position on the Jeep.
a. You may want some help so that you can support the weight of the slider
3. Make sure the slider is in the position desired.
4. When the slider is in the desired position, carefully mark the 6 holes on the side of the
Jeep that will be required for mounting the slider.
a. **It is extremely important these holes are marked precisely to insure the
slider will fit properly once the nutserts have been installed
b. Double check to make sure the top side of the slider is at flat 90 degree angle
5. Remove the slider and drill a 7/16” pilot hole in the marked locations.
6. 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.
7. Install 6 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.
b. If no crimping tool is available, follow these instructions.
i. Install by using a 5/16’’x1.125’’ minimum length bolt with a 3/8’’ nut
ii. Put a small amount of grease on the bolt to reduce friction
iii. Hold the nut steady with an end wrench so the flange of the insert is flush
against the body panel
iv. Tighten the bolt against the nut to crimp the nutsert into place
v. If the nutsert is rotating, place a star-lock washer between the 3/8’’ nut
and nutsert
vi. Once the nutsert is crimped into place completely back out the bolt
vii. If the nutsert ever breaks loose and spins, repeat the process and crimp it
tighter to prevent spinning
(Nutserts that have been installed correctly)
