Video Transcript for How to Set Up Your Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit on a 2010 Hyundai Elantra

Today, on our 2010 Hyundai Elantra, we'll be installing the Roadmaster base plate mounting bracket kit part #521624-1. Now, to begin our installation, we'll need to remove the two 10 millimeter bolts that hold the air intake to the core support. We'll then remove the plastic fasteners up here. Now, we'll work our way down on the vehicle here to the front fender well on the driver side and we'll remove the eight millimeter screw that holds the corner of the facet to the fender. We'll do this on both the driver side as well as on the passenger side. We'll then work our way underneath the vehicle where we'll need to remove the three plastic fasteners on both sides.

We'll now remove the five 10 millimeter bolts attaching the center splash panel to the radiator support. Now, on the inside of the subframe, you'll find two splash seals. We'll need to remove these as well. With those all done, we're now ready to remove our facet. We'll pull outward on both corners where we can then pull it away from the vehicle.

With that done, we'll now cut the air deflectors on both sides to allow clearance for the main receiver braces. With them cut, we'll now remove the two lower bolts that attach the bumper core to the ends of the frame rails. We'll do this on both sides and set them off to the side as they will not be reinstalled. We'll now take the driver side main receiver brace, put it over our bumper core, rotate it ,making sure we take the pipe spacers and put them behind the bracket but infront of our bumper core support. We can then rotate the receiver brace up until it lines up with our holes.

We'll then take the long hole included with the kit and slide it through the bumper support, through our sleeve and back out the support on the back side. We can then put a lock washer on it and finally a nut. On the two smaller holes where we removed the 12 millimeter bolts, we use the bolt flat washer and lock washer, replacing the two 12 millimeter bolts that we removed previously. With those in place here, on the driver side, we'll repeat the same procedure and attach our passenger side. Now, with both upper brackets on, we're ready to move on to the lower brackets.

We'll now take the lower bracket here on the driver side and put it into position where we can run the bolt and flat washer through the bracket, through our upper bracket and finally put a lock washer and nut on the other side. Once we have the driver's bracket in place, we'll take our U-Bolt, slide them around our subframe and back through the bracket. We can then put the washers on and secure it with the nuts. Now, we'll repeat this same procedure for the passenger side bracket. Now, with both lower brackets in place, we can work our way around tightening up all the bolts that we've just intalled, torquing them to specification as indicated in the intructions. Now, with all our hardware torqued to specification, we're ready to reinstall our front facet. Now, before we can do this, we'll need to cut a hole in the facet for each of the two braces. We'll first measure out from the center of the verticle rib. We'll then use a two inch hole saw to drill directly through the center of the horizontal rib. Once we've done that, we can now reinstall our facet. With that done, we can reinstall our lower panels again trimming them to fit our new brackets. That will complete our installation of the Roadmaster face plate mounting kit, part #521624-1 on our 2010 Hyundai Elantra.
