a. General. When tool box only is to be removed and/or installed, it is a simple matter to open box and remove and/or install the three large screws. Gear‐toothed lock washers and large recessed washers fit under screw heads.

b. Remove Box and Bracket Assembly. Remove bolt and nut which secure tool box upper mounting bracket to frame clip. Lower end of mounting bracket, battery box bracket, and speedometer cable are all secured to the mudguard bracket by the same bolt and nut. Remove speedometer cable from clip and remove bolt and nut, freeing tool box and bracket assembly for removal. NOTE: Removal of rear brake rod will make bracket lower mounting bolt and nut more accessible.

c. Install Box and Bracket Assembly. Locate box and bracket assembly on vehicle and install bolt, washer, and nut at the upper frame clip mounting. To attach bracket lower end to mudguard bracket, place bolt through speedometer cable clip, then through box mounting bracket, battery box bracket, and mudguard bracket, securing assembly with lock washer and nut.
