That is a great catch! After reading the installation instructions a couple times I called my contact at Curt and asked why the tool list included the 19 mm socket.

They said it may have been part of a list of tools for a different trailer hitch or an older hitch that used different hardware but it is not needed when installing the # C13068 on your 2015 Odyssey.

Answer 8

Curt decided not to design hitch #C13068 to account for those welded on pieces you referenced in order to maximize the size of the side hitch brackets. As to why they chose to go with a 5 bolt design I can't say. The Draw-Tite hitch #75270 sounds…

Answer 12

The weld nuts were probably still dirty, when you were installing the hitch which caused the weld nut to brake off when putting torque on it. If you have not already installed the other bolts, you will want to clean them out with WD-40 and wire brush…
