Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Acura MDX - Video
Today on this 2010 Acura MDX we are going to install part number 13354 from Curt. First thing we need to do to get started is lower the spare tire. It makes everything a lot easier to thread the bolts in and tighten them down. The next thing we want to do is lower the exhaust. There is going to be two rubber hangers on each muffler so we are going to spray them down with some lubricant and then pry them off any way we can and then we will get to installing the hitch. You will notice that when we took down the first bumper hanger it came down pretty good already so it might be a good idea to run a strap around the exhaust components to keep them from falling down. Lets move on over to the rubber hanger. Spray it down and remove it. 00:38 more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Acura MDX - Video
Today on this 2008 Acura MDX we are going to install part number 87474 from Hidden Hitch. This will also apply to part number 75614 from Draw-Tite. The first step involved is to lower the spare tire and we have that done already so you have a lot of room. You can already see the attaching points on the frame. The next thing we need to do is lower the exhaust because there is not quite enough room to work the hitch up in there. So lower the exhaust next and then the heat shields that are above the exhaust, we will take those down too. All of this will go back up once the hitch is installed. For the lowering of the exhaust what we are going to do is put a strap across the exhaust pipes themselves so when we lower them we can do it in a controlled manner so we do not do any damage to the exhaust system. 00:42 more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2002 Acura RSX - Video
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 24719 from Draw-Tite on a 2002 Acura RSX. The first thing we are going to need to do is to go inside the trunk and remove the spare tire from the spare tire well. We will be drilling two holes into the spare tire well to help hold the hitch up into place. In doing so, there some models that have an aftermarket subwoofer here. If your application does have this, you will need to actually disconnect the wiring harness here on the side by depressing the tab the on the forward side. And then from there you can just remove the center portion and then lift the subwoofer out of position and then remove the spare tire. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Acura MDX - Video
Today on this 2004 Acura MDX we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 75599. This installation will also apply for Hidden Hitch part number 87454. There is a couple of things we need to do before we can install our trailer hitch. I have taken the spare tire down to give us a little bit more working room. On the MDX we have got this rear fascia piece that is going to need to come off so the hitch sits up properly. If you come to the inboard side of the fascia piece you can see we have got multiple fasteners holding it into place. There are three push pin connectors. To remove the push pin connectors what we are going to do is take a flat head screwdriver and just slide it into the notch and what we are doing is removing the center section. There are four hex head screws. 00:56 more
