Locate the four 12 mm hex bolts holding the skid plate to the chassis.

Support the skid plate with one hand and use a 12 mm socket wrench to turn the four bolts counter-clockwise until they come out.

Do not lie directly beneath the skid plate when removing the it. The skid plate or any debris trapped inside may fall on you.

Lower the skid plate from the underside of the truck and set it aside.
