Today we are going to install part number 75118 from Draw-Tite, and we are going to install this on a 2004 Mazda Tribute. Now we will show you our attaching points: they are going to be here, here and here. And it is going to be the exact same thing on the drivers side of the vehicle. We will use a wire pull first. We will push it through the bolt hole that we are going to use, out the end of the frame, and then attach our hardware to it. First we will start off with the plate and then we will end up with the carriage bolt, and we will repeat for the rest of the holes in the frame.
All right, with all the hardware installed, we can go ahead and lift the hitch into position. And we will use a couple of nuts to get it stable on a couple of bolts. This is kind of awkward, so it is good to have an extra set of hands to help hold up the other side, although you can leave it on the exhaust side and do one side at a time. All right, once you have it loosely installed, you can move it back and forth just a little bit to get it centered up, and then go ahead and snug down the fasteners. OK, once you have the bolts snugged down, go ahead and torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. OK, with the bolts fastened down, that is all it takes. And there you have it for part number 75118 from Draw-Tite.
