The manual says to remove the #27 torx bolts that hold the softtop bows to the roll bar bracket. I did that but they wouldn't budge. It's as if the plastic on the ends of the bows have a sleeve that sits in the bracket hole preventing their removal. Tried a gentle prying but didn't want to break anything. So what's the deal? FWIW I simply removed the brackets from the roll bar instead, which worked fine, I'm just wondering why the owners manual method didn't work.

98TJYou have to wack the brackets to get them out. It won't break anything, just use your hand or a rubber mallet.
What about when it's time to reinstall? You have to pound them in with a mallet?!? I'm thinking the bracket removal was easier.

Even easier if you dump the plastic ends for the aluminum conversion kit from sun performance.
