Help with passenger running board install

[tahoe7689]

(2003 Chevy Tahoe LT). I removed my running boards a while ago to go with my lowered look etc...Now I am wanting to put them back on. I successfully installed the driver's side board (with a lot of cussing and adjustments haha), now the trouble on the passenger side is there are a series of tubes (I think they are for the rear a/c freon) and I have to get the rb brackets under those tubes to have the board mount correctly. I removed it just fine, but now I cannot seem to get it under those tubes to re-install it! Can someone please help? I searched the forum, and cant seem to find anything helpful. Thanks!

All I can tell you is that you'll have to angle the board down 45+ degrees & be patient. Probably would help a ton to have a second person helping.

The ac lines are held in place by 3 or 4 brackets with 10mm nuts. Remove the nuts & you can pull the lines away from the body 2" or so. That will help a TON in getting the room you need to get the brackets tucked in underneath them.

those are the rear AC lines. on mine, i just put some aftermarket boards on and had to loosen the lines. there are rubber isolators that hold the AC lines away from the rockers, they use one bolt each to hold them on. remove the bolts and u can pull the lines out far enough to get the bracket behind there and then just put the bolt back in.

ya I noticed the brackets, but when I tried to get a socket in there before I tried to but the board on, the socket woudnt go on....the socket couldnt reach the nut because something was blocking it and I cant see what it is...
