Step for attachment to a wheel or bumper

A portable step apparatus for removable connection to a vehicle for providing a stable platform for supporting a person while working on said vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

• a support frame assembly means having a pair of side supporting frame members held in a spaced-apart relationship by frame bracing means, and
• at least one step adjustment means rigidly attached to at least one of said side supporting frame members,
• step assembly means having a step frame having a back surface, a first and second side surface and a top surface, at least one of said side surfaces including a hook member, and at least one bracing member extending from at least one of said side surfaces,
• means for attaching said step bracing means to said step adjustment means to prevent relative movement therebetween, and
• means for attaching the support frame assembly means to a vehicle,
• whereby, said step assembly means can be slidably attached to said side supporting frame members and said step adjustment means such that said at least one hook member and said back surface of said step frame form a U-shaped channel which can attach to said at least one step adjustment member and at least one of said side supporting frame members in slidable relationship, and whereby said means for attaching said step bracing to said step adjustment means allows said step assembly means to be fixed to said support frame assembly means at a plurality of predetermined locations to prevent relative movement therebetween.
