Now we will go ahead and show you how the hitch is installed. First thing we need do is go ahead and work with the exhaust so we can lower it to get to one of our access points. So all we have to do is remove the two rubber hangers that are closest to the tailpipe. Now we are just going to use a pry bar and just pry them off. Well let us go ahead and just lower it out of the way and then you can see our attachment point is will be right here. We are looking at the passenger side. It is going to be the same thing on the driver side and it also uses the center tie down loop as an attachment point also. 0:52
We will move over to the driver side frame wheel to show you how to install the hardware. It is a little bit easier to see. Now our block has to be installed in the frame and be sitting like this. This is our only access hole so what we got to do is put a notch in one side of the hole so we can slide our hardware into it. You can use a chisel and make a notch in there just anything enough to get the block in there. It will not take much. To install our hardware we are going to take our block and our 7/16-bolt and our bolt leader and we are going to thread them all together. Okay we are going to take the bolt push it up into the frame. And then our block and push it up to the frame and pull it all back through. We are finished with the driver side. We will go ahead and do the same thing on the passenger side. 1:36
We can go ahead and start installing the hitch. We will take the passenger side and just lay it on the exhaust. We will push the driver side up into position. We will grab a 7/16 nut and a conical-tooth washer. Now we will want to leave it loose so we have flexibility for the rest of our fasteners. Alright now we are going to tow loop attachment. Now you definitely want your hitch as loose as possible to install this because tow loops on the vehicles are not always welded in the exact same spot. We will take our block and our bolt and we will go through tow loop. And between the hitch bracket here and a tow loop we will get these two blocks. On the back side we will put our conical-tooth washer and our 1/2 inch nut. Alright at this point if all our hardware installed we can go ahead and snug all the bolts down and then torque them down as specified in instructions. And when you do this fastener here make sure the block covers both sides of the tow loop. Now you can go ahead reattach the hangers to our exhaust. And with that we are finished with our install. And there you have it for part number 60869 from Hidden Hitch.
