Step Tread Removal

[peaceofanotherkind]

Does anyone know how to remove the step tread from the passenger entry? I can’t get it to budge.

Mine had screws in the white part on the front edge. They were glued down as well. It had a sheet metal backing to it and was a pain to get out. I started with a flat nail bar and hammer to get the edge up. Then I used a 4' pry/wrecking bar to pry up, slide under, pry up and slide under pry, etc... It bent the stair treads up but I got them off. Hope this helps and good luck!!

Just removed mine yesterday to clean and inspect under them.

Just screwed in with 6 screws each

I believe some are just screwed in and some are glued. On our Thomas, it was just totally rusted in screws that needed a little help to remove. Once the screw heads were gone (or the screws removed), the steps came up easily.

Wow. That looks amazing and gives me hope for ours. Thanks for sharing!

We did get the screws out, though it took a lot due to the rust. I was expecting them to come off relatively easily after that, but it’s so stuck, I can’t even imagine how much glue they used.
