hello everyone and welcome to easy steps
today I'm going to be showing you how to
install face lift running boards on your
mercedes-benz w164 ml class so right now
my car does not have any running boards
at all so I'm going to be installing the
new aluminum running board and I can
show you the other side I've installed
it so you can see it before and after
here is how it looks right after well
when you're done installing it looks
very beautiful gives your car very nice
new look so in order to install the new
running board what we're going to have
to do is first remove the old plastic
here
and we're gonna have to get rid of all
of it and then we're going to set this
aside
and here's the metal frame support we're
going to mount this on and then after
that we're going to slide this on screw
it on so first what we're going to do is
remove the jack stand supports the
rubber mounts like these so you're going
to need a straight to driver and there's
going to be a circular screw and you're
going to twist that open
the screw
pull on a little bit and comes off just
like that and now I'm going to open the
plastic nuts
they are 10mm there's going to be 1
2 3 4 5 6 and there's
going to be the 7 in the corner so
after removing all 7 plastic nuts at
the bottom the next step is going to be
your grab two there are going to be
three of the plastic pushpins
one two and once at the bottom three and
this is for the rear and there's also
going to be three in the front and we're
going to have to pop all three off and
all six off and then remove them so just
get a straight screwdriver after
removing all three first you're going to
pull the bottom plastic clip off and
then just make sure the plastic bumper
is free open your door and then what
we're going to do is you're going to
have to pull a little bit forward and
there's going to be clips right inside
here when you make the gap you're going
to push down them with the screwdriver
and the plastic will pop off so right
here these big clips just push it down
in the clip pops out as is I'm
doing
so for the front there's going to be two
pieces here this one the long main one
once you pull the last clip it comes off
this long piece comes off and then for
the small one same thing it just pulls
right out we're going to remove the 10mm
nuts here remove this plastic guard
there's going to be one two three four
five and five in the other one drop
removing all the nuts plastic guard just
comes right out you just pull it out
for the metal frame bar there's going to
be the screw holes just align it and
place it on then what you're going to do
is you're going to push your little and
then it gets straight because it locks
in at the bottom and then we're going to
put the bolts on same thing as this side
and now we're going to screw in top nuts
at the top and then also the plastic
ones at the bottom so we're going to be
using the new 10mm nuts at the top so
tighten all 10 nuts down and then we're
going to do the same for the bottom it's
so after
screwing all 10 nuts at the top and
then that's at the bottom the plastic
ones now we're going to slide on the
aluminum the cover are you going to have
to have your doors open for this
so once you slide it on right behind
here metal clips and they're going to
clip in the same places as the places we
remove the old ones and at the bottom
you're going to make sure that the
plastic goes into these grooves so align
it and push it and make sure they go
into the grooves so it's very easy to
snap the clips in once you see their
line you just hit it and it goes in just
like that and it closes back up as it
was before so for the front right here
you're going to make sure this plastic
slides on right inside you can see it
there's going to be the lock you want to
slide it on top and then push it in and
lock it
like how I did pop in we're going to put
the plastic push pin back on so just as
I did push the pins back in in the front
and the rear
