Today on this 2010 Chevrolet HHR we are going to do an install part number 11447 from Curt. This is what the hitch looks like when its installed in the vehicle. Next well give you some measurements thatll help you out in selecting some accessories such as a bike carrier or a cargo carrier. From the top of receiver opening down to the ground is going to be 10 3 inches and from the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside edge of the bumper will be 5 inches. Now we will show you how the hitch is installed. Our first step is go ahead and lower the exhaust, We will spray down the hangers with some lubricant and go ahead and remove them.
Alright, with the exhaust out of way we can see where the hitch mounts up. We will use this existing hole right here however we have to enlarge it -inch to make it easier run and pull the bolt all the way through. And this will be our access hole and also as an attachment point and this will be identical on both sides. To install our hardware we run our bolt leader to the hole we drilled out and out the access hole. Take your block, thread it in and then well tread on the bolt.
Push it all inside. Now it may help to tilt it head first and then push it in. Now for this attachment hole, we are going to pre-assemble everything outside and then we are going to take everything and push it inside the frame and then pull back out. Were gonna repeat the same process over on the driver side. And now from this point we can go ahead and install the hitch.
Well take the driver side of the hitch lay it on top of the muffler and then push it to the passenger side up to the frame. Well line up the bolts and install the French nuts. Now we can go ahead and snug everything down. With everything tightened down, we will torque down the bolts as specified in the instructions. With all the hardware torqued down, we can go ahead and reinstall the exhaust.
And with that that will finish for our install of part number 11447 from Curt on a 2010 Chevrolet HHR.

My 12 year old son and I installed the trailer hitch in about 30 min. on our 2009 HHR. Great fit and the installation kit was so easy to use. The wire for fishing the hardware through the frame is pure genius and worked better than I thought it would. Great design overall. Thanks.75811

Installation of receiver hitch was easy, thanks to your instalation videos. The Curt receiver hitch was a perfect fit. Wiring the lights was easy also with the help of the correct video. Fast shipping from your company was a + also. Etrailer really does it RIGHT when it comes to trailer hitches and associated attachments. Prices of your equipment are very good also. Will buy from your company again when I need more hitch products.44385

Hitch arrived friday 05/01,opened up the box spread the hitch out on the floor, later that evening while watching the 10:pm Blue Bloods started by laying out the wiring in the car but it was dark in the garage so I decded to wait untill mouring to hoch up. O730 AM 5 secounds to hock up both sides electrically, my friends car lift was down so I decided to start on the floor less than 45 minutes it was installed, I did use my floor jack to balance the hitch on one side the muller held up the other side, not bad for a diabled veteran now going on 69 in august (heart blew up in 91 on duty, triple by pass and a few ,3 attacks later I'still kicking) Now I got to finish cleaning up the trailer my son in law gave me, no body would buy it, I will send pictures in a few weeks of what should be impressive for a nice set, needed a lot of TLC and paint on the trailer that is now licensd for the first time in ten years since he bought it. It will be used for general purpose light duty by me only. I am very happy going through e trailer, was consdering going through Uhaul saved my self saved aleast $100.00 and all the bull (electrical wiring not included) plus the waitting time they required about two weeks.42471

I ordered 2 hitches, 1 for me and 1 for my sisters HHR. I was surprised when customer service called me back to make sure I did not make a mistake ordering 2 by accident. I installed the hitch on my HHR very easily and quickly. What a well made product, I am impressed. The shipment arrived sooner than I expected for a pleasent surprise. What a great company to deal with. I will definitly use them again.35507

I watched the video and also studied the paper directions. It took me around 50 minutes to complete the installation, from the time I raise the car on the jack stands, to letting it back down. The only difficulty I had was holding the unit up and putting on the nuts. I used a 5 gallon bucket to hold up the other end, which helped. I also installed the wiring kit, which was simple and just as shown in the video. Excellent products and the delivery was quicker than advertised.34020

Absolutely exactly what I was looking for. Ordered for my 2009 chevy HHR. I am mechanically inclined and being the typical guy I did not watch the video. For someone who doesn't wrench much it would probably help. The one page instructions that came with the hitch were easy enough to understand. I didn't time myself or hurry but installed it by myself in well under an hour beginning to end with cleanup. I did jack up and put the rear of my car on jack stands which I think is a must for clearance. It would be easier to have an additional person to help hold the hitch up while bolting. I would recommend threading the fish wire through both holes before adding the plates and screwing the bolts in it for the rear holes also, and the fish wire also helps on the front holes as well to not lose the bolts in the frame (attach them and then put the both in first and then the plate and pull the bolt back down). All in all simple installation once you figure out how it goes together and only one bolt hole required drilling out to make it bigger. I give it about a 3 out of 10 on technical difficulty. If you can change you oil and do simple maintenance to your car or truck you can put this hitch on no problem. Fit was awesome. eTrailer pricing and shipping awesome as well. If your looking for a great hitch this is the one. 29165

Super easy to install on my 2007 HHR Panel. It took less than an hour to install with no complications at all. Exactly like the video and instructions stated. What was really amazing, I ordered this on Sunday evening, it shipped Moday and I had it on Wednesday, half way across the country.20591

I bought this hitch for the cost and because it included the draw bar and pin. There were no hidden problems. The hitch fit my 08 HHR perfectly. The video on this website is perfect, I didn't even use the included instructions. The instructions did say it would take a professional 60 minutes to complete the installation. It took me 50 and I'm not a pro by any means. The only tip I have is: if you're installing this on the ground, you'll need to jack up the back of your HHR to have room to work and the hitch will have to go straight in from the back of the car and over the muffler. Great product, easy install, cheapest price I could find.15737

Got my hitch in a couple of days. Easy to track order. Watched video which helped with the install on my HHR. Very easy to install. Did not have a lift and had to install on the ground, just be prepared for the weight of the hitch. Only took me 45 mins. with the clean up of tools. etrailer is a great online store, will order all my trailer products from them.11459

This is really a heavy duty hitch. Installation was pretty easy after watching the video. If you install with car on the ground, not on a lift you need to pull the muffler down and slide it in from the back. Also, both rear holes needed to be drilled out a little not just the passanger side. Took me just a little over an hour including finding all my tools. Very satisfied. I love when I make good choices!11088

Quick and easy installation. The hardest part was working around the muffler, there just isn't a lot of room. But even so, I was done in just over a half an hour. No lift, no special tools.9499

Straight forward installation. Just remember that there is not a lot of room on the exhaust side. Even with only being half prepared and it was only in the mid-40s, I was done in just over a half hour.8560

Well made product/good service It was shipped to me quickly from e-trailer - like a day went by. The hitch was very easy to install with the instructions saying 50 minutes and that was all it took me. The fit and finish is excellent and its nicely tucked under the back of my 2009 HHR. 2864
