Welcome to the site. There are small holes right where the rocker panel meets the bottom of the truck. Just stick a small screwdriver up in there to get it to catch. As for the nuts that are in the frame I believe there are holes in there as well but cant quite remember though.

Sounds like allot of work and pain in the butt. Glad mine on my 04 mount to the two body frame mounts. And two small screw brackets on front of each into body(lower front fender) bolts already there too. Real easy on and off. 10MM open end and 10mm ratchet socket and a 14mm DEEP WELL socket and your good to go. 30 min job working slow (tweeking them) like I did.
