Question:

My 2inch x 2inch hidden hitch part number 75547 has both a 5/8inch and a 1/2 hole. Howver my buck back steel bar has 1/2 holes. Just want to make sure it will work,

The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75547, that you have on your 2009 Honda CR-V will use the 5/8 inch hole to secure hitch mounted accessories or ball mounts to the trailer hitch. The smaller hole is not used at all.

If you have a hitch mounted accessory with a 1/2 inch hole, then it is probably intended to be used with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver, rather than a 2 inch receiver. If this is the case, then you could use a Hitch Reducer, # HT02, to use that accessory with your trailer hitch.
