Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Civic

Today on this 2008 Honda Civic we are going to be installing part number 11437 from Curt. First thing we need to do is get underneath the vehicle. We need to get rid of this plastic shroud that is underneath the truck pan. There will be a verity of fasteners on the shroud ranging from plastic rivets to threaded bolts. Next we will go ahead and lower the exhaust itself. It will be one rubber hanger at the very end of the muffler that we will remove and use that to lower everything. :47
Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid

Today we are going to install part number 24763 on our 2008 Honda Civic hybrid model. The hitch is going to install above the exhaust on this frame rail behind the heat shield right here. It wraps all the way around the muffler. It is also going to attach to the tow hook right here. Also on the frame rail over here just on this side of the shroud. The first step is to remove the exhaust and also, to do that, we need to remove the rubber isolator from the exhaust muffler. And that will give us some wiggle room. Next we have to unbolt this heat shield right here. Alright next what needs to happen is that this rivet right here has to be removed. We will put it back up when we are done. What we are going to do now is go ahead and hang the hitch. We are going to start off at the tow loop. As you can see, we have the U-bolt hanging down from it. It might be a good idea to have an extra set of hands to work around the muffler.
