Note: Later model 2009 vehicles do not have the unthreaded weldnuts on the passenger side. If you have a later model 2009 vehicle you need to
install the fasteners identified with an asterisk (*) on the passenger's side of the vehicle frame also.
1. Remove the exhaust hanger bracket from the driver's side frame rail and lower carbon canister on the passenger's side (if present).
2. Fishwire carriage bolt(s) and ¼ x 1 x 3 block(s) through access hole(s) at end of frame and into existing slot(s) in bottom of frame. Remove
fishwire.
3. Fishwire carriage bolt(s) and ¼ x 1 x 2 block(s) through access hole(s) at end of frame. Keep bolt(s) and block(s) inside frame until hitch is in
position. Leave fishwire(s) on carriage bolt(s) temporarily, see Figure 2.
4. Raise hitch into position. Use fishwire(s) to pull carriage bolt(s) through hole(s) in hitch bracket(s) on driver's*(or both) sides. Loosely install
conical toothed washer(s) and hex nut(s) onto carriage bolt(s).
5. On all but later 2009's, install three (3) M12 thread forming bolts and conical toothed washers into existing unthreaded weldnuts on passenger's
side as shown. Bolts will form threads.
6. Cut off the end of the exhaust hanger that extends into the frame, see Figure 3.
7. Reattach the exhaust hanger with the two (2) M8 x 1.25 x 55mm bolts and 7/16 spacer blocks and reattach the carbon canister removed 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.
