There is no specific torque value for re-attaching the heat shield during the installation process for Curt hitch # 13354 that fits your 2011 Acura MDX. The reason is that heat shields are generally fairly thin sheet metal. They do not need to be torqued down super tight since they are not bearing any load.
Just tighten the fasteners until they stop rotating and then give them another 1/4-turn to 1/2-turn. These fasteners will not need anywhere near the same force as the hitch installation... view full answer...
The Aluminum Ramp End for 2x8 Board, 750 lbs. (Qty 1), item # EM07200, does not include installation hardware. I would recommend using 3/8 inch carriage bolts, at least 1/2 inch longer that the board you will be using, and a washer and lock nut.
Place the part of the ramp end with the holes in it on the bottom of the board you plan to use and mark holes to drill. Then insert the carriage bolts from the top of the board and tighten the nut and washer on the bottom of the ramp end. view full answer...
You can install the Draw-Tite brake controller # 5504 on a 2007 Acura MDX. There are a few parts that you will need. First, if the vehicle does not already have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to add one using # 118424.
Once the 4-Way is installed or if you already have a 4-Way installed, you will need 4- and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way trailer connector and the wiring for the brake controller. I have included some instruction links and video that... view full answer...
If you have access to tools and have basic mechanical skills you should have no problem installing the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, part # F4179, on the rear suspension of your 2006 Acura MDX.
The first step you will need to do is jack up the rear wheels of your 2006 Acura MDX by the frame and support it with jack stands. Make sure your suspension is completely extended. Next, you will remove your coil springs and remove the overload bumpers inside the coil springs... view full answer...
You are correct that normally you will see around 12 volts of power at the vehicle connector for the running lights circuit but the fact that you are testing 13.5 to 13.8 volts is not out of the ordinary and it does not indicate any kind of issue. This is not too high. As long as your trailer lights are working as they should when the trailer is connected you are good to go! view full answer...
Since both trailer hitches for your 2016 Acura TLX, Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942, have a 200 lb tongue weight, even if there was a carrier that fit the smaller 1-1/4" receiver the weight of both the carrier and your Honda CRF150F dirt bike would be well over that. This means that the only option for you to transport your dirt bike with that vehicle is by towing it with a trailer.
Your owner's manual does state that towing may void your warranty but it is worth noting that you are... view full answer...
If your current brake bulbs are halogen, you will need to add resistors to prevent hyper flashing when you install the Putco Plasma 7443 LED Lights - 360 Degree - Red - 2 Pack, part # P247443R-360. If you are replacing LED brake bulbs you should not need to add resistors to the replacement bulbs. Ideally, in both scenarios, your brake lamp indicator warning light should turn off on your dashboard. In case you do need a resistor I recommend, Load Resistor Kit for LED Turn Signals - 50 Watts... view full answer...
Your Hollywood Racks TRS Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # HR3000 is designed to be removed and stored whenever it's not in use since many people will use their hitches for towing or carrying a cargo carrier of some time. You can remove the hitch pin and take the TRS bike rack off your 2019 RDX any time you like, or you can absolutely leave it attached if you don't want to hassle with taking it off frequently. The TRS also folds up towards your vehicle for storage,... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36114 does NOT require drilling to install, as it's intended to attach to the vehicle using pre existing holes in the vehicle's frame as shown in the installation instructions that I've linked for you. Draw-Tite tells us that a qualified professional installer should be able to complete the installation in about 30 minutes.
Every now and then, an oddity will come along where the holes aren't there but this is pretty rare occurrence. We haven't had the... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75614, does not require an additional bumper piece for installation or operation of the trailer hitch. When installed, this trailer hitch receiver opening will rest just below the rear fascia. Part of the cross tubing will be visible. I have included a link to the installation details below. I have also included a video install on a 2008 model so you can see the hitch being installed and what it looks like when finished. view full answer...
Minimal tools are required to install the Draw-Tite Class III receiver hitch on your 2008 MDX. Having a power driver or air driver is nice, but not necessary. A 19,17 and 10mm socket wrench with extension would work just fine. A torque wrench will be necessary to ensure that the 8 bolts holding the hitch to the frame members are correctly tightened.
Before inserting the bolts, you will want to ensure that the threads of the nuts welded into the vehicle frame are free of road grime and... view full answer...
Yes, you can drive around with the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box part # Y95AV on your 2007 Acura MDX while empty. However, there may be a bit more vibrations than while loaded but this is nothing to be concerned about. I called my contact at Yakima just to confirm this for you. The Yakima SkyBox has a very low profile, aerodynamic shape so there shouldn't be much wind resistance. view full answer...
I have found a video to help you with the installation of the # ETBC7 on your 2015 Acura MDX. The video is for the installation of a Draw-Tite Activator IV Trailer Brake Controller but includes the installation of the # ETBC7 as well. I have attached the video for your reference. view full answer...
In order to have enough working room to install the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 13354 on your 2008 Acura MDX, the exhaust and spare tire must be temporarily lowered. The heat shields will also need to be removed for installation, but can be reinstalled once the hitch is installed.
To gain access to the holes closest to the bumper you may need an extension or a crow's foot to reach between the hitch and bumper. In the installation video it looks like our installer used an... view full answer...
The "saver" portion of the Camco Vented RV Bumper Cap w/ Tether # CAM40324 that you referenced clips to the edge of the bumper that the cap is installed on. Basically you would push the clip over the edge of the bumper securing it, and then you would install the cap over it to secure it. view full answer...
The installation of the Draw-Tite Class I Receiver, part # 36226 on your 1998 Acura is fairly simple. The exhaust is temporarily removed from its hangers, and then the tow hook is removed. The hitch is initially held in place using the provided hardware using the hole where the tow hook was attached. Then, after making sure that the hitch is centered on the vehicle frame, the hitch is used as a template fro drilling the three remaining holes. The remaining three bolts and block washers... view full answer...
To connect the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part # 90195, to your 2009 Acura MDX you will need to hardwire the included pigtail wiring harness directly to the factory four wire harness that plugs into your factory brake controller port. The wires will connect color to color, red to red, blue to blue, black to black, and white to white. The Honda wiring harness will not work.
I do not have a brake controller wiring harness available for a 2009 Acura MDX that will plug into a factory... view full answer...
The trailer hitch options for a 2009 Acura MDX like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13354 don't allow for a full size spare tire to be stored. The only option would be to either store the spare tire elsewhere like on the roof or to switch to the smaller size factory spare tire. view full answer...
It looks like the reverse lights themselves are on the hatch of your 2010 Acura MDX. You should be able to access a reverse light wire directly behind one of the lights provided there is a way to access the backs of the assemblies. You will likely have to remove a panel to do so. The other option is to locate where the wiring exits the hatch to go into the vehicle. It is likely at the top of the hatch. You would have to cut away the sheathing to the wires and use a circuit tester, # PTW2993,... view full answer...
