Step one is to remove the four bolts that hold the Jeep’s transmission skid plate on. There are two larger bolts that connect to the frame, and two smaller bolts towards the rear.

As would be my luck, the driver side front bolt game me some real problems. There appears to be a nut inside the frame itself that spun loose. The end result being that I couldn’t get the skid plate off. I ended up using a long pry bar to bend the skid plate down, then I rotated the whole thing out of the way.
