Figure 1
1. Remove Excess Caulk- Remove excess caulk from the frame rails in the hitch installation area.
2. Enlarge access hole – Using a die grinder or other suitable tool, enlarge the access hole enough for the carriage bolt head to fit
through. See figure 2
3. Install hardware - Using the fish wire install items 1 and 2 as shown in figure 1 through the access hole in the vehicle frame. Repeat for
both sides. Note: Keep the fish wire attached to the hardware.
4. Install hitch - Raise hitch into position. Feed the end of the fish wires through the attachment holes in the hitch, be careful not to push
the hardware back into the vehicle frame. Loosely install items 3 and 4 to hold the hitch in place. Conical washer teeth side against
hitch.
5. Torque fasteners - Tighten all ½-13 GR5" fasteners with torque wrench to 75Lb.-Ft. (102 N*M)
Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
*Note – The hitch is intentionally designed to be close to the fascia at the center. (Trim center, inside, lower edge of fascia in area of the hitch if
necessary.)
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.
