Materials Furnished:
Two step castings, four steel mounting brackets,
instruction sheet and two hardware packs (Important!
Not all of the parts in these hardware packs may be
needed for proper installation).
Tools Needed:
One - Phillips screwdriver, two – 1/2” open or box
wrenches, pencil, center punch, drill motor, sharp 1/8”
drill bit, sharp 5/16” drill bit,
1. These steps mount to an extremely strong part of your vehicle, the
back side of its rocker panels. For the proper position of the step,
the front edge of the seat while in normal driving position should be
in line with the center of the step. For personal preference or to
avoid any obstruction that may be on the backside of the rocker
panel, the step can be moved towards the front or the rear of the
vehicle.
2. Assemble the steel mounting brackets to the step as shown in the
drawing, but only hand tighten.
3. When positioning the assembled step against the back side of the
rocker panel, be sure to avoid all bumps and screws to ensure that
the step is against a flat surface. Take a pencil and mark a vertical
line that lines up with the front edge of the seat, on the outside
painted surface of the pinch weld. (See diagram). Disassemble the
brackets from the step.
4. Measure 4 1/8” on each side of the marked vertical line and mark
two more lines on that same surface. The dimension between the
two outside marked lines should be 8 1/4”.
5. Measure 3/8” from the edge of the pinch weld where you marked
the other vertical lines and mark two horizontal lines, creating a
cross hair. NOTE: DOUBLE CHECK DIMENSIONS BEFORE
DRILLING! (Warning: when drilling holes leave at least 1/8” of
metal between the hole and the edge of the pinch weld).
6. Take a center punch and punch the center where the two sets of
lines cross.
7. Take a 1/8” drill bit and drill out the centered punched holes.
8. Enlarge the 1/8” hole with a 5/16” drill bit.
9. After drilling make sure that all the burrs are removed.
10. Now you will need to bend the tab on the back of each bracket as
shown on the diagram to conform to the body metal of your vehicle.
11. Once the tabs are bent to the correct angle, use the 5/16” x 5/8” hex
bolts with the 5/16” hex nuts and 5/16” washers to securely tighten
the brackets on the vehicle.
12. Using the top ¼” hole at the top of each steel mounting bracket,
take a 1/8” drill bit and drill holes into the body metal. Take the
5/8” sheet metal screws provided and securely tighten. (Drilling at
an angle may be necessary due to interference or for proper
alignment). Place the step back into the brackets and securely
tighten.
13. We advise putting silicone sealer around the areas where the steel
mounting brackets contact the body metal.
14. After one month of use, go back and give all hardware a final
tightening.
WARNINGS!
Do not over tighten the nuts and bolts or damage to the castings
and or stripping of the threads could result.
