1. To remove the rear bumper, remove (3) torx screws from inside each wheel well. Remove both tail lights by using a socket through
the port on the inside of trunk. Rotate light out of place carefully, so the tabs on the back side stay intact (rotate then pull straight
out from the side to remove lens). Remove 2 torx screws from beneath each tail light (one short black, one long silver). Remove
the 2 torx screws from the underside of the bumper. Using a screwdriver pop off the plastic covers inside the trunk to access (2)
hex nuts using a 10mm deep socket. Note: Be sure the socket you use is deep enough so it will not bottom out on the post. Use
a magnetic arm to catch the nuts. Dettach the bumper cover from the side of the car, then pull straight backwards to remove.

hitch as a template, mark and drill holes into bumper beam support rails (through top side only) and holes into trunk pan.

mounting holes. Clear spare tire well of ALL contents before drilling.
4. Install hitch onto bumper beam support rails by inserting hex bolts through hitch into frame rail. Hold the supplied nut plates
inside frame and tighten using 3/4" rachet on hex bolt head. Tighten securely. (both sides)
5. Re-install bumper beam onto vehicle. Install carriage bolts from the underside of the spare tire well outward. Install
remaining hex head flange nuts with conical tooth washers.
