You mark the relation of the bolts to the tubing , drill the holes and mount them between the frame and the tc. Make sure the tubbing is a heavy enough gauge.

Yeah they both screw in and out but you will have a harder time removing the stud. Try a pipe wrench and some heat, the double nut method has never worked for me. if that doesnt work, use a big ez out and heat.
