how hard is it to take these off? mine are rusted underneath and its looking like garbage.

easy as crawling under witha socket wrench and unbolting them. there are 6 bolts (3 sets of 2) on each side holding them on.

when I took the side steps off of my old Mercedes the bolts and nuts were rust welded to the brackets and each other...it took a lot of elbow grease to get them off...impact wrench would be helpful
