To install a step: 1. Before installing the bolts: Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road Driving There are some important things to remember about how to load your vehicle. • Remove all traces of the original adhesive patch. • Clean the threads of the bolts with denatured alcohol or equivalent and allow threads to dry. • The heaviest things should be on the load floor and forward of your rear axle. Put heavier items in the rear area, as far forward as you can. • Apply Threadlocker (GM Part No. 12345382, in Canada 10953489) or equivalent. 2. Install the side step to the vehicle. You may need someone to assist you in the installation. 3. Install the nuts and bolts for the two inner brackets first, but do not tighten them. 4. Using a level, make sure the step is level in relationship to the vehicle. Then, tighten the inner bracket nuts and bolts. 5. Install the other nuts and bolts. Tighten all nuts and bolts to 39 lb ft (50 Y). • Be sure the load is secured properly, so driving on the off-road terrain does not toss things around. 4-20
