Trampas

Glad you got them installed Trampas. Having the right equipment - jack, jack stands, etc., makes all the difference. I know when I got my first TG (a 2018 model in September 2017) trying to jack it the first time was shall we say a bit of an adventure. But with the help of 'google,' DK's videos and reading other's experiences and advice here on TT I got myself educated.
And while you got your's done with no problem I would suggest not using a breaker bar on the bolts / screws. Yes H-D does put some aerospace grade thread locker on the pinch block bolts (and on the footboard bolts also). But I've learned that using a heat gun (a hair dryer just won't get hot enough) on those bolts makes them much, much easier to remove and the possibility of breaking one is significantly less. Having to remove a broken bolt (and remember what's left to remove is what has all that threadlocker on it) can definitely ruin your day.
I understand about the breaker bar, I broke everything loose and then went with ratchet to take off, I do have a heat gun and did not think of it at the time, I guess my brain wasn't working right that day, LOL
All for now Trampas
