So there isn't an exact amount of material needed to be removed when enlarging the access hole on your Subaru WRX when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84ZV.

You'll use a die grinder for this and you'll just enlarge it until you can get the 1/2" fasteners through. Typically this isn't much, about 1/4" or so, but they don't give an exact amount because that is very, very difficult to quantify when doing the install.
