Mercedes hitch installation After several web searches through my ML Blogs& advice from Engineers at work, I was able to complete the task in 40min! * took the bumper off by sliding it straight back after removing qty 4 screws located behind 3 bumper covers * inspected the hitch + instructions * inspected holes on car bumper, making sure that there is no debris in holes (used wd-40 in one to lube bolt in) * installed hitch * re-installed bumper * took the longest time because it has to be aligned to the guides on each side of the car * center attachments also had to be carefully re-aligned due to the size of the hitch * two people is recommended for a faster re-install Hope this helps future buyers... I attached some pictures...thank you for the awesome product! 4715
