Reinstalling the Scuff Liner
1. Most galvanized scuff liners are bent after being used for a number of
years. To help straighten it for reuse, turn it over, concave facing
upward, and beat it with a large plastic mallet to pound it flat again.
Some areas will require more emphasis than others depending with how
bad it is bent.
2. Two people, one holding the scuff upright and the other using a large
mallet can start at the front wall and drive the lower portion between the
base rail and DuraPlate outer steel surface. It may be necessary to place
a cargo jack at the front and rear corners to secure the scuff until rivets
can be applied.
3. Use two people inside, one back-drilling scuff top mount holes and the
other holding it tight against the wall until a rivet can be installed. It works
best to have two air lines: one with an air drill and the other with a impact
gun, so a person can switch between the two. Reinstalling the scuff liner
will require another person working outside with a rivet
bucking bar.
