Assuming you are doing this on a H3 (as your userid would suggest), it should take no more than 10 or 15 min per side.

You do plan on removing the steps as a single unit, not the tubes from the brackets and then the brackets from the frame?correct?


Mfish told me a very quick and easy way to do it?

There are 4 bolts holding the support brackets to the frame. Two front, Two back.

Remove the bottom two bolts first, then loosen the top two.

Remove the top rear bolt. drop that end of the step to the ground.

Remove the top front bolt while supporting that end of the step, drop it to the ground.

Done.

I just used a standard ratchet and socket set.

Note: Since the boltholes into the frame are threaded (no backing nuts here), I?d suggest using a little anti seize compound on the threads
and re-installing the bolts back into the frame holes to keep crap out?.
