How Do You Remove Truck Bed Rails?

Installing truck bed rails can be a great way to give your truck a more rugged look and make it easier to attach cargo. But if you decide that you want to remove the bed rails after installing them, you’ll need to follow some specific steps in order to do so.

The first step is to make sure that you have all the necessary tools for removing the bed rails. This includes a power drill, a ratchet set, and a flat-head screwdriver. You will also need some lubricant such as WD-40 or silicone spray.

Once you have all of your tools ready, start by loosening the screws on each side of the bed rail with your power drill. Once they are loose, use your ratchet set to remove them completely. After this is done, use your flat-head screwdriver to pry off the plastic coverings that hold the rail in place.

Once they are removed, spray some of the lubricant around the edges of where the rail was attached in order to help loosen any debris or dirt that may be stuck beneath it. Next, use your ratchet set again to unscrew any remaining screws from underneath and pull out the bed rail.

Conclusion:

Removing truck bed rails is not difficult, but it does require some basic tools and knowledge of how they were installed in order to do it correctly. With the right tools and some patience, you should be able to get rid of any truck bed rails with no problems at all.
