8. Center Hitch - Center the hitch on the vehicle as close as possible.

11. Reinstall Exhaust - Reinstall exhaust into vehicle position by re-attaching the exhaust to the rubber exhaust hangers.
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
