Manufacturer InstructionsInstallation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Honda Odyssey
First thing well do is lower the exhaust to give us a little more working room. As you can see we use a tie down to pull the exhaust out of the way even more so. That is totally optional it just depends on your circumstances. What were going to do is clean out the bolt holes on our frame. Sometimes you wont have to do this, particularly if the vehicle is brand new. Some older vehicles, especially fewer years down the line, you run into problems with rust and corrosion getting in the threads. Were going to use a wire brush that comes off a battery terminal cleaner and were going to spray it down with WD-40 and work out the rust. Its not so bad in this model but well go through the steps anyway so its easy to see what you need to do before you put the hitch on if you have an older vehicle. The next step would be to use the actual bolt and run it in there a few times in and out to clean it out just to make sure.
Now we have the holes cleaned out and ready to go, the next step is to lift the hitch into position. This something where you really want a second set of hands to carry one side, but if youre doing it by yourself a good trick is to let one side on the exhaust if you noticed we put the exhaust back to its original position. Then well lift the other side up and start our one bolt and then go back to the exhaust side to take the weight off of it as soon as possible.
Now that you have the hitch safely mounted on the first two bolts, now you go ahead and add the last four. You can move the hitch around as you need to give you wiggle room to get the bolts in. Now that we have our bolts in the drivers side, well skip to the passengers side and well pull our exhaust out of the way again to give us work room and install the bolts. Now that you have all bolts snugged down, we can do our final torquing.
Last but no least, do not forget to put on the exhaust bracket and then you are done with your install. That concludes the install of our hitch, the only thing I can reiterate is that what made the install easy is taking time to clean out all the holes in the frame. Rust, corrosion you name it and its in there and it will definitely slow you down. That will go a long way in installing the hitch if you do that first.
