All,
Obligatory not affiliated with 589fab, I bought all of this myself, none of it was provided to me, etc...
Time required: 20-30mins
Tools used:
Rhino Ramps (makes life much easier)
Gearwrench 15mm impact socket
Dewalt 1/2 impact wrench
Cheap rubber mallet
Simple Green
PB Blaster or WD40
Very simple install; probably so straightforward nobody has bothered to post pictures before. For those unfamiliar the 589Fab support bracket encloses a fairly thin mounting point for the stock steering skid that is prone to bending (thankfully mine was not).
It comes with 3 extended bolts of the same pitch/size to replace the stock ones which will be too short.
Step 1:
Remove the two 15mm bolts holding the splashguard or your skid
Step2: Remove the three 15mm bolts holding the stock steering skid on.
Step3 (optional): Clean and PB blaster/WD40 steering skid bracket and steering skid. Since I degreased mine and have almost a full case of PB blaster, I gave it a light coating.
Step 4: Coax support bracket on with rubber mallet. Notice it does not have any bolts security it. I would describe it's fit as snug, and precise. I didn't have to obnoxiously bang on it with a hammer, just a few medium-gentle taps on each side. Bolt holes lined up perfectly.
Step 5: Reinstall steering skid using the included longer 15mm bolts
Step 6: Reinstall splashguard/skid using original 15mm hardware
