rivets that secure the heat shield around lower fascia and take the heat shield down as shown in Figure 3.

remove (2) existing M14 bolts from the rear vertical and horizontal frame on each side. Keep them for reassembly.

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
