Installation Procedure

1.Mark the cut location on the service rail by measuring 5 mm (1/4 in.) from the front edge of the second gauge hole forward.

2. Cut the rear rail service part.

3.Cut and remove 30 mm (1 and 3/16 in.) from the flanges on either side of the service section rail to create 30 mm (1 and 3/16 in.) tabs (1).

4.Cut 5 mm (1/4 in.) wide gaps in the bottom corners (2).

5.Step the tabs inward (1) to allow the service rail section to fit inside of the original rear rail.
