Running board removal issue
Hello.
Im working on removing the running boards on my 2000 LX470. I got the left side runner off no problem. However, the front section of the right side is presenting a problem. There are two service lines that pretty much block access to the lower bolt. I've removed the cover to these lines, but with the tools I have, I'm not comfortable aggressively trying to remove the bolt, which is on super tight, without bumping/breaking the top service line. I may have to go buy a longer 13 socket and a flex head wrench. Any one had/conquered this issue?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
It's been several months since I took mine off-- but I think I just used a u-joint and an extension on my regular socket wrench. The lines don't leave much clearance, but they moved just enough for me to work around.
Hope this helps-- The LX looks so much better without the boards. Night & Day difference. Now, I just need my front mudflaps. Best of luck! -Daniel
