Would Draw Tite Hitch for 2018 Mazda CX-5 Have to Come Off to Install Exhaust Isolators
Question:
2018 Mazda CX-5 GT installing a Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch 76138 So was working in a garage and only had printed out directions so I currently have the hitch installed but my rear muffler isolators are not currently connected. Trying to see if theres anyway to get those back on without uninstalling the hitch and starting over. If I do have to uninstall and start over can I re-order the guide wires so I can re-thread the bolts and brackets?

In the install instructions for the Draw Tite hitch part # 76138 which is a fit for your 2018 Mazda CX-5 the exhaust isolaters get reinstalled after the hitch is bolted into place. This means you would not have to remove the hitch to get to the isolators. It's actually the last step before reinstalling the rear fascia so you'd pretty easily be able to install them.
