Page 6: Let's Get Started
FIGURE 1 LET’S GET STARTED! WE SUGGEST HAVING A HELPING HAND WITH THESE FIRST FEW STEPS TO HELP SUPPORT THE DOOR! STARTING WITH THE BOTTOM HINGE ON YOUR DRIVER SIDE DOOR; MAKE SOME ALIGNMENT MARKS WITH A SHARPIE OR MARKER, AND THEN REMOVE THE 3 FACTORY BOLTS WITH A 13MM SOCKET. - Page 7 FIGURE 4 NEXT, YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. WE RECOMMEND USING SOME PLASTIC PANEL REMOVAL TOOLS (EASILY FOUND AT HARBOR FREIGHT OR SIMILAR) BE GENTLE WHEN PRYING AS TO NOT BREAK THE FACTORY PANEL CLIPS. ONCE YOU GET THE FIRST FEW POPPED YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL IT THE REST OF THE WAY WITH YOUR HANDS.

LEAVE THE HARDWARE LOOSE FOR NOW AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT THROUGH THE NEXT STEP. NOTE- THE TIRE CARRIER ASSEMBLY RESTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HINGE BRACKETS...
- Page 11 FIGURE 15 NEXT WE INSTALL THE INTERNAL DOOR BRACE. SLIDE THE BRACE OVER THE BOLT YOU HAVE INSERTED THROUGH THE DOOR AND PLACE THE 3/8 SCREW FLAT WASHER AND 3/8-16 NYLON INSERT LOCK NUT ON LOOSELY. AT THIS POINT THE PERSON SUPPORTING THE DOOR CAN BE RELIEVED. THEN ALIGN THE BRACE WITH THE HOLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME AND INSERT THE 1/4-20 X 1.0 FLANGED BUTTON HEAD HEX DRIVE SCREW THROUGH THE SLOT AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 15.
- Page 12 FIGURE 17 TIGHTEN THE 4 BOLTS ON THE HINGE BRACKETS. MAKE SURE THE 3RD MOUNT IS TIGHT, THEN OPERATE THE DOOR AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE WITH ANY OF THE MOUNT BRACKETS. FIGURE 16 FLATLINE VAN CO • SUPPORT@FLATLINEVANCO.COM • 888-667-5576...

- Page 14 FIGURE 21 NEXT WE WILL INSERT THE WHEEL STUDS. GRAB THE THREE M14-1.5 WHEEL STUDS, APPLY SOME BLUE LOCTITE ON THE SHORT END AS SHOWN BELOW, AND THREAD IN TO THE HOLES MARKED WITH NOTCHES ON THE MOUNTING PLATE. TIGHTEN THEM DOWN WITH A 5MM ALLEN WRENCH. THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE TORQUED HARD, JUST TIGHT.
- Page 15 FIGURE 23 IF YOU INTEND ON USING THE WHEEL REST, WE RECOMMEND SETTING YOUR SPARE WHEEL IN POSITION ON THE CARRIER AND INSERTING THE WHEEL REST TO SET THE CORRECT INSERTION DEPTH. AFTERMARKET WHEELS VARY IN DEPTH FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE, SO THEY MAY NEED A DIFFERENT INSERTION DEPTH THAN A STOCK WHEEL.
