I would pull off put back mount On the ground stand it up an push down while standing on back mount they bend pretty easy . then I would mount the rear first loosly with both bolts in then do the front hope this helps there a reason I don't run nerfs I hate theim they always just pop Right off an then you to put back on an your there 1/2 a day trying to get back on
