installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we will be installing Draw-Tite part number 24756, which also coincides with Hidden Hitch part number 60815. This will be going on a 2008 Chevy HHR. Here are a couple of measurements to think about when considering buying your hitch. From the center pin to the outermost point on the bumper is 5-1/2 inches. And from the top of the receiver to the ground, on this particular vehicle, is 10 inches. This will help you when ing accessories for your new hitch. Next we are going to move on to the installation. 0:43
Our first step is going to be to lower our muffler. We have three hangers that we are going to want to hit with a penetrating oil to loosen them to make them easier to come off. There is one near the axle, you have one on the passenger side or almost the center of the muffler, and then you have one on the driver side that is hidden by the muffler. There are a total of three hangers to remove to the muffler down. Now for removal of the hangers, I like to use a large screw driver or pry bar, or sometimes a pair of channel locks will work also. Our next step is to enlarge this hole with a drill bit and drill to make it large enough to put in our fastener which is a 1/2 inch carriage bolt. We are going to do that for both sides before we begin our installation. Let me check our hole size by simply seeing if our carriage bolt will fit through. So we are good on the driver side. Let us move to the passenger side. We will check our hole. And now that our carriage bolts will fit down through our sub frame, we can mount our hitch. 2:00
Now we are going to go ahead and fish our wire through the channel. Now we are going to go ahead and slide our block through our fish wire, which is going to hold our carriage bolt and be our new fastener. Feed your block up through the hole first and then pull your carriage bolt through. This will install your rear most fastener. Now we are going to go ahead and install our forward most mount. We will do this the same way. Now our forward most mount is installed on the passenger side. We can take our fish off. We will do the same thing for the driver side. Now is the best time to get a friend because we are going to install the hitch. We are going to be installing the hitch with conical washers, the notches will face the bottom of the vehicle, and then fasteners and nuts. You want to slide the muffler side of your hitch in first. And I like to fasten the passenger side first. I like to put a little side pressure on the bolt to help hold it in place while threading on the nut. You can see we are hand tight on the passenger side. We will do the same thing for the driver side. 3:51
Once we have all four of our mounting bolts hand tightened, you are going to go check your instructions and tighten down to the recommended torque specs. We are going to repeat the same process on the driver side. OK, now that we have all four tightened to torque specifications, we can reinstall our muffler. I like to start with the driver side rear first because it is the most difficult. Alright, that covers our driver side. Now we have one towards the axle and we have one in the very rear on the passenger side I am going to do next. Now we get the one near the axle. Now that we have our muffler reinstalled, this completes the installation of Draw-Tite part number 24756, Hidden Hitch part number 60815.

overall good product, was disappointed at first as the hitch i ordered was not in stock and would have a delay of a couple weeks. Got Laura H. on the phone and she was extremely helpful,. cancelling the old one and taking my order for the hidden hitch. She even refunded my money back into paypal as this was a credit card order. Tte hidden hitch was here the very next day, and I had it installed by evening. only one difficulty,l and that is I already had a standard 1-1/4 drawbar, but it bottomed our inl the hitch, making it impossible to insert the pin. had to cut off about 1/4 inch of it. otherwise, I am very happy, especially with Laura's help.80036

Fantastic - watched the video online and ran a 1/2 bit through the rear hole on the pax side when I placed the order. Free 5-day shipping arrived on time - box was a bit battered but hitch was fine. Jacked car up from both sides, put jack stands under it and wondered if I had enough room to drop the muffler but it went in just like the video showed it would. May order something to keep the back up when it has a load but have to wait until the snow melts to get my little trailer out and see the effect of being hooked up. Will keep coming back to etrailer. Dealing with them is trouble-free. The Hidden Hitch came with a draw bar - great product with the best price for someone who's going to tow.66329

Went on very easy. Zero problems. Recommend 2 people when bolting it in so bolts dont get pushed into unibody. Can do it under an hour at a very relaxed pace and under 30 mins if you ever do it again.63340

I have ordered two hitches in the last two month's, and both were fine. The hitch for my HHR had broke throught the box but was still OK. I also ordered a hitch for my Cobalt and that was fine also. Price was the best. Shipping came nice and fast. I will order from etrailer again for sure. 33607

Fast shipping and great communication. This looks like a very sturdy and well made product. I put mine on an HHR SS. There were concerns over interference with the shroud, but this is virtually nill. Anything you can see requires you to lay down and look up. I couldn't install it for a couple months after I got it because of the endless rain. My only complaint so far was the difficulty of installation. What a total PITA. Especially the fish tape that wouldn't come off the bolts for anything after fishing them through the holes. It ended up getting bent to crap each time. The kit really needs a seperate fish tape for each bolt. Eventually I got it installed in about three hours, (long enough for my stereo to kill the battery). The name is right, Hidden Hitch. You can hardly tell it's there.16184

Great service on the shipping. Item arrived on time and looks very sturdy. Installation will have to wait a few weeks as I managed to mangle my hand the day it arrived. 7256

Just Right. Purchased and installed this on my '08 HHR in Nov. 08. Installation was simple thanks to e-Trailer's website videos. I bought it to mount the Swagman #S64670 bike carrier, which fits it fine. The package works great for carrying our bikes. We have taken several trips and everything just fits and works fine. e-Trailer is a very good company with which to do business. I recemmend them to you for all your trailering & hauling needs. 1774
