I had to cut the adjustable C channels to extend them all the way to curve in the pipe. Otherwise they were not sitting properly on last bracket. The bracket positioning were 3rd, 5th & 7th TP55 screws from front
The TP55 with correct 1/2” bit from Amazon didn’t give any issue. I used an Ridgid 1/2” impact driver.
Hansshow running boards needed modification to adjustable C Channels, it is short and does not cover the entire lengthI had to cut it to extend it.
Cutting plastic cover took some time.

Good point, Do you know the torque specs for tp55, 15mm and 17 mm bolts. I think I read for tp55 it is 85ft lbs ,
I have an old beam style craftsman 1/2” torque wrench, they are reasonably accurate at higher values. I can also check while unbolting at what ft lbs torque breaks.
I got the bar and pipe to extend it. I hope the impact wrench does the job. Just waiting for tp55 specific 1/2” bit to arrive. May be it needs penetrating oil too
Thanks for head up. It would have been a mess otherwise. I ordered IP55 torx plus 55 torx bit https://www.amazon.com/TMAX-Impact-Socket-Square-Repair/dp/B09Z35VSR9/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=torx+t55+plus&qid=1703297179&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
I received the Hansshow running boards and was looking up info To install them.
I read somewhere that T55 bolts which need to be removed are NOT righty tighty lefty loosy ( right hand threaded) bolts . It sounds wrong. Can anyone confirm
