Question:

My question is Reese model 20035 is supposed to work but the measurements given in their literature isn’t working out. My kit came with 4 brackets. Am I missing some brackets? Reason I ask is nothing is long up and doesn’t work the documents say it should. Please advise.

Helpful Expert Reply:

From the pictures you sent, it appears that your mounting holes just need to be cleaned. You need something like the Nylon Tube Brush - 3/8", part # 814113. Once the mounting holes have been cleaned, you should be able to use the 12mm bolts.
