On this 2007 Honda Odyssey we are going to install part number 87479 from Hidden Hitch. This will also apply to part number 75270 from Draw-Tite. We will go ahead and show you where the hitch mounts up on the frame. It is going to mount up to these three threaded holes here, here, and here. It is going to be identical on both sides. We are looking at the drivers side right now, the passenger side is going to be just like it except the exhaust may or may not be in the way. :25
Before we mount up our hitch you want to take a good look at the exhaust system. Sometimes the exhaust system will sit off to more center of the frame and it covers up the frame holes. In this case, it is actually a little closer inboard and we have a straight shot from the side of the exhaust on up. So we do not have to take down the exhaust in this particular instance. So what we will do is use that to our advantage and go ahead and put the hitch, lie it on the exhaust while we put the bolts on the drivers side. :50
Now go back to the other side and get it started on a bolt, and that will get the weight off the exhaust. Now we can go ahead and get the remaining bolts installed in the frame. Then go ahead and snug them down. Now that we have all the bolts snugged down we can go ahead and torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. All right with our bolts torqued down that finishes our install. And there you have it for part number 87479 from Hidden Hitch.
