Attaching Bottom Kwikee Step Electric

[jvanwezenb]

Would anyone know what hardware is used for attaching the bottom Kwikee step ? There are 4 bolts (of some sort) on each side. There are two 2 holed washers (or whatever they are named) on the inside. Has anyone replaced or know what hardware was used? I never saw the original hardware, only nuts and bolts which I am sure is not original.

Thanks,

There are only 4 bolts that hold the bottom step in place. Those 4 bolts all go threw the top step down threw the upper portion of the top step. They are carriage style bolts so that you dont stub your toe on a bolt head. The bolts your seeing on the sides do not hold the bottom step, at least thats how my 04 concourse is.

Here is a closeup of the outside of the bottom steps I am looking to replace. I do not believe mine are original.

I thought you were wanting to remove the entire step. The following photo is what im talking about. The bottom step is an assembly which bolts on to the bottom of the top step, the mounting base looks like a top step but its actually what bolts to the bottom of the existng chinook top step.

The green circle is around the part that bolts to the bottom of your existing top step with 4 bolts which are indicated by red dots. Remove those 4 bolts and the entire bottom step will come off as a unit, you can then place it on a bench and do what you want.

That is interesting and may come in handy getting the steps and linkage straightened, however, I really an working on getting the bottom step attached where it "travels" when step is going up and down. If you can describe/show the hardware involved that would be great. Should be 8 sets of the hardware.

BTW My steps are different than pictured.

Thanks Again,
John

Yes ours are different than the photo in that they are old models. However they attach the same as the new one in the photo.
