The drivers side is more difficult, more lines and cables. Be careful not to bend or break them.

I used a milk crate to hold up the end I was not working on.

I took me about 15 minutes per side doing it myself.

Thats what Im doing Just scuffs as of now but eventually they will be removed when damaged.
Then the wife will have to hop in:giggling: and I can get the rock rails

I got close a couple times but if your carefull and have a spotter you can manage very good with them on.

actually ya i do. i dont have just tools laying around my housel. to be exact ive only got a flat head screwdriver, and a phillips head screwdriver. i want to go and buy the socket wrenches for it, but i dont wnat to spend like 100 bucks on a whole set and im only gonna use one of them. so id rather just go and buy the exact one i need.

If you get off your a$$ and look, :twak: you wil find socket sets much cheaper than that. Sears is a good place to start for value and quality. You can get a small set for under $20. No one sane buys a single socket.:lame: You will be amazed at how frequently you use them once you own them and know how to use them. Also, consider buying a caliper. It's good for measuring your nuts! :dancingbanana:

Re: How to take off the side steps
 
:iagree: Buy a set from sears ,replacement for life no matter what happened to it..
Also get a tool box,it fills up quickly and you will have them for life.

Re: How to take off the side steps
 
1 socket $1
1 Socket Driver $3.99
The full set $14.99
But getting off your @$$ and Driving to walmart... Priceless
Theres somethings money can buy, But if you dont buy it... dont complain to the forum:rant:

Re: How to take off the side steps

And exactly what size hammer do you plan on getting?:jump::jump::jump:

Re: How to take off the side steps
 
Tower, your way late, if you looked around the forum youd see the offroad pic thread of it with no steps, and i siimply asked aboutt the size so i didnth ave to buy a whole set, but i did anyway cuase it was on sale. And any hole in the wall would just use a hammer that fits in your space, its not like it has to fit over something. Are there anymore obvious questions you would like to ask?
