I have a horror story acutally. Was going to keep it to myself but I'll share now lol. My driver side came off SO EASY. Literally just grabbed the socket wrench with a 13mm socket and started turning. Loosened no problem. I loosened it the entire way to where the bolt is no longer holding it together. After that it's just some muscle to wiggle/pull it off. Grabbed the tip and pulled sideways and it came right off.
Now then, the passenger side. Same thing grabbed the socket wrench got down and started turning, thinking to myself "hell yea this is easy go me!" and during the 3rd turn of the wrench I get the awful sound that metal makes when under pressure and SNAP! bolt head came clean off Had to get out the drill, which of course had a dead battery, and drill through the damn bolt. Roughly half an hour (15 min power charge) and 2 broken drill bits later, SUCCESS!!!
Once I had the clamp undone the fun was not over. It was damn near welded on that side. Literally took a screwdriver and hammer to it trying to knock it loose with no luck. So I'm laying under the truck on my back horizontal and had to hold on to the factory tip with both hands and then I put both feet on the rear passenger tire and pulled so hard my entire body was literally up off the ground. Then it busted loose all of a sudden and smacked me right in the damn chest lol. Try to make a mental picture of that scenario
Lol that is awesome! Too bad you don't have that on video. That would have been awesome to see!
