Today on this 2009 Saturn Vue, we're going to install part number 87445 from Hidden Hitch. Now, this is what the hitch looks like when it's installed on the vehicle. Next, we'll give you some measurements that will help you out in selecting some accessories such as a ball mount or a bicycle rack, or a cargo carrier. From the top of the receiver opening down to the ground is going to be 14 inches and from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the bumper is going to be 6-1/4 inches. Now, we'll go ahead and show you how the hitch is installed. Our first step to install our hitch is to go ahead and lower the exhaust.
Now, there are three rubber exhaust hangers we need to lower. That's two in the back and one towards the rear axle. We'll also use a strap to support the exhaust while we do our work. To make it easier to remove the hanger, we'll spray it down with some lubricant first then we'll use a pry tool and a small piece of wood to remove the hangers and then we'll lower the exhaust slowly. Next, we'll go ahead and point out the attachment points.
There are two threaded holes on each side of the frame. Right now we're looking at the passenger's side so it will take a moment to clean them up. We'll spray them down with some lubricant and then run the bolt in and out a few times to clear up the threads. That needs a little more work than that. We can use a tube brush and we can use part number 814092.
We'll repeat this on the driver's side too. Now if the thread is cleaned out, we can go ahead and install our hitch. It may be a good idea to get an extra set of hands to hold up the hitch while we install the hardware. Now, we got all of our hardware loosened and installed. We can go ahead and tighten them down and them torque them down as specified in the instructions.
And with that, that will finish it for our install of part number 87445 from Hidden Hitch on our 2009 Saturn Vue.
