The kit includes 16 M6 black rivets (part number 10-10401) for reinstalling wheel well trim. The M12 nuts that secure the hitch to the vehicle are existing factory hardware that are removed during bumper removal and reused for hitch installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The installation difficulty level is rated as Challenging. The manual notes that if you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, you should contact an authorized Curt installer for additional assistance.
Yes, trimming is required. You must trim the underbody panel according to the trim diagram (approximately 5 1/8 inches by 3 1/2 inches) and trim an approximate 3/8 inch wide by 7/8 inch deep slot into each inner plastic body to allow for hitch side plate clearance.
All M12 hardware must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs.
Yes, bumper removal is required. The installation process requires removal of the underbody panel, bumper cover fasteners, wheel well trim, tail lights, reflectors, inner plastic bodies, and the bumper beam assembly before the hitch can be installed.
Most models require removal of 11 fasteners from the underbody panel. However, some models may require removal of only 9 fasteners.
Seven rivets must be removed from the wheel well trim from above each rear tire. To remove them, push the small center rod through the rivet with a small punch or equivalent tool, pry the rivets from the trim, and pop the trim off. Replacement rivets are included in the kit.
Yes, both tail lights must be removed. Pop off the plastic covers inside each tail light, remove the 2 nuts from each tail light, unplug the lights, and remove them. After hitch installation, they are reinstalled in reverse order.
The M12 nuts removed from the bumper beam assembly threaded studs in Step 11 are reused to secure the hitch to the vehicle in Step 12.
Remove the underbody panel, then remove fasteners from the bumper cover bottom and wheel wells, remove wheel well trim rivets, remove additional bumper cover fasteners, pop off tail light covers, remove and unplug tail lights, remove fasteners under tail lights, pop off reflectors and remove fasteners under them, then carefully remove the bumper cover by popping the sides off first and pulling straight back.
Reinstall the bumper cover and tail lights by reassembling all components removed in Steps 2-10 in reverse order. A plastic rivet gun is required to fasten the supplied M6 rivets when reinstalling the wheel well trim.
Raise the underbody panel into position and mark the center using the hitch as a guide. Trim the underbody panel according to the trim diagram on the manual, which shows dimensions of 5 1/8 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Reinstall the underbody panel and discard the extra fastener.
