NOTE: Requires trimming or removal of lower air dam for hitch installation. Obtain owner permission before trimming.
1.
Remove and trim lower air dam – Using a 7mm socket remove several fasteners from the lower air dam and remove from vehicle. Locate center line of air dam or have customer mark
center of air dam before removal. Using a tape measure, marker, and utility knife or grinder, cut out the center 3.5" of the air dam up to the reinforcing web. Make (2) 1.5"notches as
shown in Figure 1 in the reinforcing webs. Then, reinstall the lower air dam using a 7mm socket. See Figure 1.
2.
Remove factory nuts and passenger side bolts – Using an 18mm socket and 18mm end wrench, remove the (2) factory M12 flange bolts holding the passenger side tow hook. Using an
13mm socket, remove (2) bolt from under body panel. Remove (1) clip nut from each frame rail. Remove the flange nut from the driver side tow hook and slide the bolt flush with the
frame. The passenger side tow hook will rest inside the frame. Be careful not to let it fall forward. The driver side tow hook will stay bolted in place with the rear bolt.
3.
Loosely install hitch – Using pull wire, feed the carriage bolts and spacers into frame rails using access hole shown in Figure 2. Hand tighten the supplied M12 bolts and washers (item 1 and
item 2) and the front driver side tow hook flange bolt. Hand tighten the M12 hex nuts (item 2) and front driver side tow hook flange nut. Install the (2) passenger side tow hook flange
bolts and flange nut. Make sure the passenger side flange bolts also engage the tow hook. Remove pull wires and loosely install conical washers, flat washers and hex nuts to hitch, see
Figure 2.
4.
Tighten all M12 fasteners with torque wrench to 68 Lb.-Ft. (92 N*M) and 7/16-14 fasteners to 50 Lb-ft. (68 N*M)
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.
