Availability of Replacement Shank for Thule T2 XTR for 2 inch Hitch

Question

Question:

I have 2 questions about Item # 753-3581 Replacement 2inch Shank for Thule T2 and T2 Classic Bike Carriers: 1 can you confirm that it will work with my 1.25inch Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Hitch Rack so that I can use it with my new 2inch hitch? 2 can you provide installation instructions that I can review? I hope this part works because its much less expensive than a new rack! thank you,
