My truck didn't come with pucks so I bought the factory kit and installed them myself. They give a template for the holes that have to be cut in the bed but that's about it.

They will probably loosen the brackets or easier yet probably use a grinder to knock the edges off the pins so they fall into place.
As I set mine into place I also had to adjust each "pin" to achieve the proper tension. You have to remove the cotter pin and adjust the threaded portion to fit. While I was that far into it and knowing that I wont be removing it soon I actually disassembled each pin and threaded adjuster and coated everything with anti seize. If you want it done right you may have to do it yourself. I also whacked X amount off each arm so that they could be disengaged with out taking the hitch off the frame. I drilled new holes and moved the arm pins.
As designed there isn't room to swing and disengage the arms 90 degrees with the hitch on the picture frame. I wanted to be able to more easily hang the whole thing from the pin when I want the truck empty.
