LWB 463 Side Steps - Instructions
Does anyone have any instructions or a schematic of how to correctly fit a set ? Gav?
I know there are only 3 brackets each side but as Spider1V will probably mention it is quite difficult from people with Norfolk with 6 fingers.
t is fairly simple... Two large 17mm bolts to hold the brackets on with a washer of course... Then there are nuts and bolts for the actual rails which slide on to the underside of the step...
If your car has never had steps the threaded holes for the brackets will have grommets in them to remove.
The most difficult (fiddly) part was installing the end caps correctly to line them up nicely.
Hi CB
Best i can do is throw you back to this thread!!!

Don't think the new ones come with instructions, they must be so easy to fit
Shall i send Freya down for an hour on Saturday
There are two 17mm bolts to the body on each bracket. Upper and Lower.
The steps I bought did not come with these mounting bolts but luckily I had some in stock in the correct size.
On my G500 two of the brackets were awkward as the exhaustt heat shield was in the way. I had to bend it slightly to allow enough room for the bolt to be threaded in, I then used a ratchet spanner to do them up.
I guess you could also look in the "Members" section and get the instructions there?!?
Thanks Jaymanek,
I've just had my E Class serviced and they had a 2012 plate on the forecourt so I had a gander underneath. Like you mentioned lining up the ends to make it look neat is the important bit. They are being fitted on a late 94 G300 so that i can get into the drivers seat after 90 mins of football on a saturday.![smiley smiley](http://www.gwoa.co.uk/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png)
