Helpful Expert Reply:

According to my Westin representative, removing two bolts will free the ladder from the mounting bracket that holds it to the tailgate. Removing the bolts should only take a minute or two. Westin does not recommend repeatedly installing and removing the mounting bracket, as it can enlarge the holes drilled into the bed and result in a loose fit.
