Review on Red Hound Auto Quick Release Bow Knuckles for Jeep 🔧 Wrangler | 1997-2006 TJ, 2007-2018 JK | Easy Top Removal | Black by Davaun Pritchard

There are no instructions for this set and I think those who left negative reviews did not know how to install them correctly. The quality of the plastic isn't exactly the same, but that's fine as long as you install it properly and don't overstress it. Here is the correct installation method: • Remove the originals from the top frame. • Unscrew one of the mounting brackets from the cross member. • Place the new steering knuckle on the end of the tube with the handle facing inwards and press in as far as it will go, but do not hammer it in. • Attach the bracket you removed from the cross member to the new knuckle for the arm and push it in, gently twisting it back and forth until it is fully seated and the clevis slot is aligned as best as possible with the way is aligned as the old ones were. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE LOCKING SCREWS! • Repeat this process until all 4 joints are inserted, aligned and slightly aligned with how the brackets attach to the cross member. • Reattach the previously removed crossbar bracket. • Fit the new uprights to the crossmember brackets, rotate as necessary, carefully rotate the tubes and make final adjustments with pliers. at any time by re-twisting to ensure they are free in all positions. • Only after you are sure the knuckles are aligned, knobs are facing in and are not binding at all, pre-drill each hole with a 7/64 bit and install a set screw on each knuckle. Boom! You did it and you didn't break her. Enjoy your newfound freedom: 1 step less in the 736-step process of removing the top from the jeep.
