Now that's funny Stagger! 
Sawzall...... 
This would be almost impossible to F this up that bad. Very easy job, turn the wrenches and they come right off. Don't drop them on the ground if you don't want them scratched, that's all there is to it.
Funny thread though. There are a lot of people here that really try to help others, that's cool.

Re: How to take off the side steps
03H3: You bring up a good point...My comments about dropping them on the ground weren’t meant to be taken literally.....
Normally I wouldn’t have piped in but it almost sounded like he was wanting to remove the tubes first and then the support brackets.
I have actually heard of a few people doing exactly that instead of removing everything as a whole unit.
****, the first time I took mine off, I used jack stands and duct tape to hold ‘em up while I removed the bolts…. 
The Mfish procedure turned it into a (ten minute/one beer) job per side INCLUDING swigs of the afore mentioned adult beverage….

You like that? Thats my favorite tool in the garage.
No reason to bash a guy for asking a legit question. Thats what forums are for, and at least it not a question thats been beaten to death like "I heard the H3 is underpowered, or how does it do off road?"

Re: How to take off the side steps
Take your H3 off road enough and eventually the steps will be gone.

Re: How to take off the side steps
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 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.
