Installation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2004-05 Pontiac Vibe


This is a hitch on a 2004-05 Pontiac Vibe. This one has preexisting fasteners in the frame right here, which in this case are a little bit corroded out. So, we will have to clean them out first with a bolt and some WD-40 to run through so we can fasten the hitch on. We already sprayed down the bolt. Then we are just going to run the bolt a little bit and then back them up. Put a little bit more in and go at it again. Just keep going at it until the bolt starts to spin freely, like it is doing now. You probably will not have to worry about much like that. One down, three to go. Work on the other two. Sometimes they do not go in right off the bat. And once you get the bolt half way in, it backs out pretty easy. Chances are you are pretty much down with that part.

And then next is actually to put the hitch up in there. We will go ahead and torque the rest of them down to 64 pounds.

I had a great experience shopping with you on line. I had a problem with ordering and called your office, the person who fielded my call told me she would call me back (yeah right) she did, and promptly. I was across the country when I ordered your product, and needed it before I left on another trip, the window of time was short and precise, the product came when promised. I just wanted you to hear a thank you.
