A)  Remove tape in four locations on outside of frame rails.
  Note: To ease the process at rearmost locations, locate the weldnuts 

  using the rearmost hole in the underside of frame. Use a screwdriver 

  to punch through undercoat and pry off the protective tape. Be sure 

  not to damage threads on the weldnuts in the process.
B)  Using a flathead screwdriver, remove electrical wire 

  from one location on outer driver side frame rail.
  Note: Wiring is dependant on trim level. Some vehicles will 

  need this removed on both the driver and passenger sides.
