Help with hitch install

mekoz · 11-01-2007, 03:39 PM

Ok -My hitch from eTrailer arrived today, and my question is how do I get the bolts out of the frame? The 18 mm ones that are OEM at the mounting points for my hitch. Is there an adapter or something that is used to get the bolts inside the frame?

There are 6 threaded holes already in the frame where the hitch bolts to...Didn't you get the 6 bolts needed to install the hitch?

loufish is right - I had just installed my OEM hitch - took less than 10 minutes to bolt on once I got it unwrapped. It took me longer to find the wiring harness onthe truck and get the wire harness cap off (had to go back into the garage to find pliers) than to bolt it up.

The bolts thread right into the frame.

ok...i figured it out...those bolts that mount to the fram, on the other side there are nuts (square head) that are welded to the frame. That is why the bols screw right in. Sorry for the inexperienced question here.

no such thing as an inexperienced question
