2. Enlarge access hole – peel off (3) plastic covers from holes on the frame rails each side, see Figure 2. Locate the rearmost hole and use die grinder to enlarge the hole size big
enough to feed the bolt and spacer each side, see Figure 2.
3. Lower exhaust hanger and caulk removal – use 13 mm socket to remove (1) bolt from exhaust hanger each side and lower the muffler temporarily, see Figure 2. Use a support or
bungee cord to keep muffler from getting damaged. Use utility knife to remove caulk near rear mounting holes, see Figure 3. Bend down or cut off the legs of exhaust hanger
bracket both sides for easier installation, see Figure 3.
4. Hitch installation - fishwire the carriage bolts ① and spacers ② into frame through rearmost enlarged hole and leave pull wires attached, see Figure 4. Raise hitch into position
and carefully slide it over exhaust hanger (passenger side first). Feed pull wires previously installed through bracket holes. Remove pull wires and loosely install conical washer ③
and hex nut ④ to the hitch, see Figure 1.
5. Tighten all 1/2'' fasteners with torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N*M).
6. Reinstall exhaust hangers and all fasteners removed from wheel well liners in Step 1.
Note: check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. If hitch is removed, plug all holes in trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. A hitch or ball which has been
damaged should be removed and replaced. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. This product complies with safety specifications and
requirements for connecting devices and towing systems of the state of New York, V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684.
