Today we are going to install part number 13535 from Curt on our 2006 Honda CRV. First, we will show you where the hitch mounts up. First will be on the drivers side, on that frame rail right here. And then the center point, where the tie-down loop is, it uses that. And the same two holes on the passengers side, which is right now hidden by the muffler.
Our next step is to go ahead and lower the muffler. And it is a good idea to spray down the hangers with some type of lubricant. We will take down two hangers that are toward the rear of the vehicle, and we will slowly let the muffler down. And next we will go ahead and install the hardware for the hitch. It is pretty simple. You just run your wire from the rear-most hole out to the forward hole, install your plate, push it into the frame, and then thread it onto your bolt, and then pull the whole assembly through the frame and out the hole. And the next bolt, we do the same thing, except we use the same hole. We install our hardware and plate, we shove it into the frame and then pull it back out through the same hole. And then go ahead and repeat all those steps for the other side.
At this point, we can go ahead and install the hitch. On some hitches, large ones like this, it might be a good idea to have an extra set of hands. The next thing we do is install a U-bolt on the tow loop. It is a good idea to leave the hitch as loose as possible in case you have to move it around to get the U-bolt in place. All right, we will snug up all the bolts and get them even. And then we will give the bolts their final torque. All right, now we can go ahead and torque down the bolts. And the torque rating is specified in the instructions. All right, at this point we can go ahead and reinstall the exhaust. All right, and that concludes our install of part number 13535 from Curt.
