21. Remove and discard the frame rail side hole plug from both frame rails.
22. Using a hammer, knock on the outside of both frame rails to loosen any rust on the inside of the frame.
23. Using a wire brush and a scraper, remove any loose frame coating and rust from the outside frame rail. Clean 10 inches (250 mm) forward and
rearward of the bracket area.
24. Use a dry rag to remove any remaining dust or debris.
25. Temporarily install both type B reinforcement brackets using new body mount studs and nuts, and C-clamps:
^ Secure the bracket to the frame using the new body mount stud and nut at the upper link bracket.
^ Firmly push the bracket up against the frame, and clamp it into place with a C-clamp. Make sure the C-clamp compresses the bracket against the frame
so there is no possibility of bracket movement when drilling pilot holes into the frame.
