NOTES ON FACTORY MOUNT POINTS (CONT’D)- 1. Ford factory stud (may need clean up) 2. Ford factory threaded insert (may need clean up) 3. Ford factory unthreaded insert (tapping required) 4. Ford factory pre-existing hole with no insert (requires rivet nut) 5. - Page 8 STEP 1 The first step is to assemble the side steps. Start with one side, grab both ends of the step and slide a Bayonet into the Step-Rear. Apply blue loctite and loosely thread in (2) 1/4-20 x 0.75 Button Head Hex Drive Screws to hold the Bayonet in place, then slide the Step-Front on as shown in the diagram.
- Page 9 FIGURE 1 STEP 2 STUDS- Studs present on the underbody in Location 1 on the diagrams from page 5 & 6 will likely need the undercoating to be cleaned o before a fastener can be threaded onto them. We recommend either using a wire brush with heat gun (Figure 1) or an M8x1.25 Die (Figure 2) to clean the threads and prepare them for hardware.
- Page 10 STEP 3 RIVET NUTS- The next step is to install the rivet nuts in Location 4 on page 5. There should be holes in the underbody of your van sized to accept the provided M8X1.25 Rivet Nuts. We recommend using a pneumatic or electric drill adapter rivet nut tool for this, although a manual rivet nut tool can work if you have enough ground clearance.
- Page 11 STEP 4.1 (DRIVER SIDE) 4.1.1- Install the Step Brackets as shown in the diagram below, noting that the Driver Side has 1 unique bracket that mounts up front. Mount all brackets loosely using the M8-1.25 x 25 Flanged Hex Head Screws on the bottom into the underbody.
- Page 12 STEP 4.2 (PASSENGER SIDE) 4.2.1- Install the (3) Step Brackets using 2 M8-1.25 x 25 Flanged Hex Head Screws (with blue thread lock applied) per bracket, and insert an M8 Screw Flat Washer and M8-1.25 Nylon Insert Locknut onto each stud on the top each bracket as shown below in the diagram.
- Page 13 STEP 5 ATTACH STEPS TO BRACKETS- It’s now time to attach the Side Steps you assembled earlier to the brackets you’ve just mounted to the van. You will FIGURE 4 need 6 M8-1.25 x 25 Flanged Hex Head Screws, and (3) Bracket Spacer-Double per side.
- Page 14 STEP 6 MOUNTING REAR BRACKETS 6.1- On the Driver Side, mount the Rear Step Bracket to the Side Step with a Spacer Plate-Single and M8-1.25 x 25 Flanged Hex Head Screw. Position the bracket to be tight to vertical sheet metal of the van and mark both slots for where to install rivet nuts.
- Page 15 STEP 7 STEP CONNECTING PLATE- Grab the remaining (2) 1/4-20 Fanged Button Head Hex Drive Screws, (2) 1/4 Screw Flat Washers, and 1/4-20 Nylon Insert Locknuts and insert them underneath the Passenger Side Side Step to secure the two halves of the step plate together.
