I threw some PB Blaster on it the night before and I was able to without issue. The body mount bolts are 13mm and the stair mounts are 8mm. Both came off with a 1/4 drive ratchet. Consider buying new hardware, especially the captive nuts.

I also got aluminum tape and that shit was just not working so I used duct tape. Also was unable to re route the moonroof drain. Not the end of the world.

I'd pull one bolt out for each and just roll to the hardware store. And get 16 of the step bolts and 8 of the mount bolts. Call it good. The I had one captive nut that was broken but I made it work.

I wanted aluminum tape but I think the fluid film in there made the surface not the best for it. I cleaned it with alcohol pads and it still was wonky.

I found the drain hose but it's behind the second bulkhead. I could get two fingers on it, tried pulling with a pick but it felt like there was something retaining in not that much further up making it impossible to re route out of the siding.

Yeah i have wool wax i have to remove lol

The hose on mine was also stuck, it was behind the rear interior panel held in place with some foam crap. Once it was free it pushed down and out easily.

I'll try again some time I guess. It's been there for almost a decade, should be fine for a few weeks more.
