1. Lower exhaust pipe by removing the rubber isolator(s) at the muffler(s) and one isolator near the rear suspension. Support the exhaust
to prevent damage. Spraying a lubricant on the metal hanger rod and the rubber isolator helps removal.
2. Using pull wires, feed spacers and carriage bolts into forward hole position (both rails). Access hole located at end of the frame rail
and before the impact bar. Leave pull wire attached. Note: It is much easier if bolt and spacer are not engaged while inserting them
into frame, refer to illustration. See Figure 2.
3. Feed the carriage bolt and spacer thru rearward slots on bottom of frame rails using the pull wires, as shown Figure 3. Note: May
need to insert the carriage bolt in on an angle. Leave the pull wires in position to assist in locating bolt when the hitch is placed in
position.
4. Raise hitch into position as shown in Figure 1. Feeding the pull wires through the holes on the bracket.
5. Remove pull wires and attach conical washers and nuts (be careful not to push fasteners back into frame rail).
6. Torque all fasteners to specifications.
7. Raise exhaust system back into position.
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.
