The truck bed rail is a great addition to any truck. It adds style to the truck and protects it from scratches and dents.
However, sometimes the bed rail needs to be removed for various reasons such as replacing a part or adding a new accessory. Removing a truck bed rail can be done in a few easy steps.
Step 1: Park your truck on a flat surface and set the parking brake. Don’t forget to make sure the engine is off.
Step 2: Locate the screws that are holding the bed rail in place. These screws are usually located on either side of the rail, near the center of it.
Step 3: Use a screwdriver or an Allen wrench to loosen and remove each screw. Be careful not to strip any of them as this could cause further damage.
Step 4: Carefully pull off the bed rail from its brackets.
If there is any adhesive residue left behind, use a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol to clean it off.
Step 5: The last step is to reinstall the new bed rail that you purchased if needed, using the same steps above but in reverse order.
Conclusion
Removing a truck bed rail is simple and can be done with just a few tools. Following these steps will ensure that you don’t damage your truck’s frame or create additional problems for yourself down the road.
