[C320-list] Port side gate stanchion replacement

[Daryl Hunt]

Just noticed cracks in the weld and bend in my port side gate stanchion, the one shaped like an "h".  Bought a new one from Cat Direct.  Removed the microwave to access the forward bolts (easy).  The aft bolts are in the cupboard aft of the microwave but there's a molded in cover for the wiring harness that makes it impossible to get to the bolts.  Has anyone run into this problem?  Thought I'd check before cutting a hole in the cover.
