Ok erybady with ram boxes and a bed divider, with OR without the MFT, the threaded holes are still there in the 22’s, just plugged with plastic push pins. (driver's side shown)
So to get em out all I needed was these:
A couple broke but who cares, I’m not putting them back in. Once they’re started out, you can actually “unscrew” them since they’re crooked in the threaded holes at this point. Which is way easier than continuing to pry or dig them out. The pins/knobs I got were from the Amazons and fit perfectly, and take a Torx T50 bit, but since these holes are open and the knobs no longer factory installed, the threads are full of paint. So I used my Dremel with a small wire brush to clean them out but you still need to slowly coax the bolts into them, then they spin freely at one point for the rest of the way in.
I just kept putting them in a bit and backing them out. I also used my impact gun on LOW (of three speeds) so as not to jank the captured nuts out of place. Got em in pretty snug and they don’t need to be super tight for what they are anyway.
Donezo, beers.
