3. Raise hitch into position over bolts and install conical washer and nut. Be certain that both sides of hitch are in the same location in the slots
(i.e. Forward, Centered, Rearward, in slot).

5. Drop 1/2" bolt with 1/4 X 1-1/2 X 2 block down through opening at end of each frame rail into drilled hole. It may be necessary to hold block
with one hand and bolt with other hand to work bolt down through block and hole. Turning bolt may help.

7. Reattach exhaust hanger bracket as shown in Figure 3.
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.
