If it's not possible to get in from above, the obviously 3) and 4) are out. I'm not how hard (if) it is to get above on the pilot, but it seem like some ridgeline owners went that route.Ĥ) Try to drill out the rivet nut (same concerns as above), if I can get above, use a crush washer + nut.

So, bought them online and went the DIY route, including the 8mm bolt DIY riv-nut tool that seems to have worked so well for others. Quickly realized that while the wife and I could easily get in and out, older family members. ![]() Moreover, the sleeve opening design makes the riveted parts can be replaced without removing the sleeve to save time and energy.Didn't think we'd want the running boards, else we'd have tried to negotiate them into the purchase.
