Does anyone have any info on removing them in order to change a tyre, I have an allen key but only instructions how to fit and nothing on removing so the car can be jacked up...sure I read something but can't find it now..Thanks

Its a 2012 Westminster 4.4 If that is needed.... I need more help than most...sorry !!

Here's the page in the Deployable Side Step manual, hope this helps.

(ETA) and a link to a hi-res: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sj4bluv5bq2xhuf/image1.JPG?dl=0

At least you have the allen key, mine doesn't.

I did ask in another thread if anyone had attempted jacking with the bottle jack when the steps were deployed but not removed?

I jack up mine with the merc sprinter bottle jack and the steps deployed but not removed. The jack handle fits fine between the step and the wheel. No probs as long as you leave a door open or use the procedure (which I can never remember) to lock out the steps. 2012 5.0L S/C

Many Thanks for the info and especially Richard for the picture, greatly appreciated......I assume I need to remove the actual step as in the image....

Ian do you want me to send you the size of the key in case you need one ? I need more help than most...sorry !!

I would advise investing the the Sprinter bottle jack, or a trolley jack. You are pretty much guaranteed the steps won't remove as the diagram shows, it will be raining, the Mother-in-Law looking on in scorn etc etc. Far better to have a way of jacking without removing the step.
