You pop out the factory links and press in the tera QD's by tightening
the nut. Take a quick look at the pic, it's fairly evident. The only
downside to them is that the cotter pins get in the way and the bullet
shaped mounting points are hard to tighten.

I isn't for me, and I'm 1800 miles from the Jeep. <G>
