Do I have to or loosen the gas tank on my 1995 Bronco so I can install the bolts on the trailer hitch. There just isnt any room to get the bolts into position.

Expert Reply:
The notes I have on installing Curt trailer hitch # 14001 on a 1995 Ford Bronco only say that you may need to loosen the bumper and reposition it upward and that the spare tire may need to be repositioned. Loosening the bumper will allow you more clearance to tighten the bolts.
It sounds like you already have the hitch. If you plan on doing some towing and need additional accessories I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2416. It includes a ball mount, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and storage bag. And if you need trailer wiring you can use # C55350.
