REAR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS


1. You need to jack the rear of the car up and place on jack stands

2. Remove rear tires

3. Remove inner wheel liner screws and clips

4. Remove the push pin adapters holding the lower valance to the wheel well liner

5. Remove the clips and the screws holding the brake ducts

6. I removed the 1 screw along the bottom of the rocker panel

7. Remove license plate as are two plastic square drive screws are behind it

8. Remove all torq's screws running alone the edge of the fender and rear panel when you open the trunk. There is a bunch. I also removed the lower two on each side of the roof pillar. There are some inside when you open the door as well (6).

9. Remove the wheel well liner once fender is 90% loose it should come out

10. Remove all tail lights

11. There are 2 bolts that you have to remove from the rear fender panel and a metal bracket by reaching inside the two outermost tail light openings.

12. There are nuts that need to be removed from the inside of the wheel well from the same bracket the screws are attached to from above step. There are 2 nuts and a nut and a bolt holding the fender and the rear clip together on each side.

13. Remove 2 screws above exhaust tips to release rear valance as wheel as the square drive screws behind the plate. I just used a skinny flat blade screw drive for this.

14. You will want to disconnect all lights at this point. Reverse, tail lights, third brake and license plate light as well as side markers.

15. Pull lower part of rear valance up and the bottom will come loose. Then you will have to lift the rest above the lip where it screws inside the truck.

16. their is now 2 push in clips that need to be removed from the metal strips that line up all the parts in order to remove the quarter panels

17. Now open the door. Lift from the bottom in the door opening and watch the part that goes under the roof bar. Should lift right off

18. Undo the 3 screws holding the gas door in place. On the other side and set aside. That is the only difference on driver’s side.
