Walter,
Removing the old tracks was no problem, I just drilled out the rivet heads,
took the tracks down and pulled out the ends of the rivets with a pair of
pliers (I didn't want them rattling around inside the front cap).
After bending the new tracks to match the old ones (you'll have to do some
fine tuning once you hold them up to the headliner), slide the mounting
brackets onto the top of the track, drill 2 holes per bracket and attach it
with the included screws. It helps to have a 2nd person hold the track up to
the headliner while you are doing this (Jodie claims her arms are still
sore, could also be from removing and re-installing all overhead cabinets,
though!)
I'll take some pictures and post them on PhotoPoint when I get the coach out
of the storage lot on Saturday.
