Note the torque rating on the first page in @Talbor’s instructions - 56 foot pounds. That’s about 1.25-1.5 x ar15 barrel torque. You can do it with hand ratchets.
I made it through bolt 1 and partially stripped the 2nd one trying to loosen it. I think it can be removed with good tools, but these bolts are in there at 4-5 times that 56 foot pounds on my Rap. That should’ve been a clue to stop but wasn’t for me. I had to resort to a 2 foot breaker bar on the first bolt - again, this should’ve been a clue to me...
When I revisit this, I’d love to know what those of you with spray in bed liner are doing to clean up the bolt heads. it’s a bitch with a pocket knife and I’m still trying to think what I can use to get the bolt head clean for the torx bit ( t50 PLUS in case anyone’s wondering ). I’ll bet I fought for 20 minutes per bolt just to get the head clear enough for the torx to seat.
If you get the kind of resistance I’m seeing, don’t force it or try to force it if you don’t have the tools to get the bolts out.
