It can be a pain if the bolts are severley rusted and spinning, then you have to deal with that. As mentioned the bed has to come off so you can get at the four philips screws that attach it to the bedsides.
Remember that the replacement end panel has to be specificly for a wood or steel bed.

like spoof said, it is a pain with rusted bolts, those stupid bolts that fit into the squre hole usually strip and theres no way to back them up, i just grinded them off, no big deal

I agree.. if you have rust, yer gonna have some fun. I found that mine was so rusted when I went to take it off it actually damaged the front of the bed. It is possible to take off on the truck, but then again I didn't have any sides on mine when it was removed, so I could be wrong on an assembled bed.
