1. If your vehicle is equipped with a tow hook it must first be  removed from the vehicle. There are 3 bolts holding the rear tow hook to the rear cross member. These must be removed, and the tow hook slid down off the cross member.  

2. Slide the receiver over the rear crossmember, taking care  to align the 4 holes in the receiver with the 4 holes in the cross member. Once in place, insert left or right most bolt with flat washer into the back side of the hitch and through the cross member. Place the nylock nut and flat washer on to the bolt. Secure but do not tighten.  

3. Once all 4 bolts and nylock nuts have been started,  tighten them. The nuts will need to be held in place with an open end wrench during this step.  

4. Insert the trailer wiring, if equipped, into the trailer wiring  mounting tab on the receiver as shown. Installation is now complete.
