Re: Rear can mounts
There are 2 bolts under the gas tank for each mount. The bottom retainer is threaded and will sometimes spin so it needs to be held with vice grips or a large pipe wrench. After that just jack up the cab a little and slide the new ones in.

How do you get the mounts out of the frame.

Re: Rear can mounts
I think those are the ones that the top and bottom metal pieces snap together. It can be a pain to get the tabs to release. Let me see if I can get you a picture of where the the locking tabs are.

Re: Rear can mounts
Sorry I took so long. Here are the tabs that make it difficult to remove rear cab mounts on.
After removing the bolt you can force something up in there from the bottom to separate it from the top piece.
