While we do not have a video on how to install the capture plates on the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550024, however I'd be happy to walk you through it!
What you're going to need to do is:
1.Slide the existing capture plates toward the center to remove from mount, you may need to use a mallet to tap them free.
2.Slide the new Demco Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 from the center. You may also need to use a mallet to tap them into place.
That's it, you're all set after that! I have included a diagram and steps below for you to check out.
