So I'm starting to start on this as we type, as this is the first temp. mod for my Tahoe trip this weekend...
do you just hammer out the hinge pins or is there something to unscrew first?
There is a little retainer washer on the pins - I first used a thin screwdriver to get underneath it and started prying at it. I then used a hammer to move it out so the retainer is up against the bracket again then pryed some more until the retainer slipped off. I think you could use a c-clamp and socket as a press though. Put the socket on the side that does not have the removable retainer and tighten. The hinge pin should slide into the socket until the retainer slides off the other end.

I like this mod.
Can you pin them into the roof rack, so the kids can ride up there?
I always tell them that I'm going to duct tape them on top. They like the Idea.
Too bad it's not the fifties anymore, you could get away with it then.
I'll do this mod anyway, just for the option.
Who knows, maybe my next wife will haul the kids.![]()

Thanks guys,
got them out this morning.
I tried to bang them out yesterday but that retainer washer looked like a bit more trouble than it actually is.
I just pryed under it with a thin scregie and then it all popped apart in minutes.
On to Tahoe!
