1. Locate rear weldnut on the outside of the frame rails above the access hole. Using the utility knife remove tape covering weldnut
and check threads by running the M12 hex bolt into, then removing hex bolt.
2. Feed spacers and carriage bolts into position using the pull wires provided into each frame rail (middle slot as shown). Leave pull
wire attached. Note: It is much easier if bolt and spacer are not engaged while inserting them into frame, refer to illustration.
3. Lower exhaust system at the rubber isolator (4). Spraying a lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and the rubber
isolator helps with removal. Do not let the exhaust drop, support the exhaust during installation.
4. Raise hitch into position (feed pull wires through the slots on the bars), sliding the hitch through the exhaust cutouts on the fascia
and into position. Remove the pull wires and attach the 7/16” conical and hex nut loosely to hitch for support.
