  • Thread Tap Size Needed To Clean Out Weldnuts in Frame for Hitch Installation on 2005 Toyota Corolla
  • The Curt Class I hitch, part # C11227 uses an M12-1.25x30 bolt. The bolt is 12mm in diameter, the thread pitch is 1.25 (meaning the threads are 1.25mm apart) and 30mm long. You'd need a M12-1.25 thread tap. If you haven't tried scrubbing out the weldnuts, you might try that first. Our installers have found that a steel brush like the one included with the # DW00254 battery terminal cleaner works very well. Soak the threads with a penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak for awhile before...

  • Cleaning Weld Nuts to Install Trailer Hitch On 2012 Toyota Corolla
  • The Curt Class I Round tube Receiver Hitch # C11265 uses 4 M12-1.25 x 30mm hex bolts. These bolts come with the trailer hitch. I only recommend using the included hardware to install the # C11265 trailer hitch. Typically any vehicle that has seen a winter will need the weld nuts cleaned before installing a trailer hitch. We recommend using a lubricant and a wire or nylon brush to clean the weld nuts. Several of our installers like to use the Deka Battery Post and Terminal Cleaner - Wire...

  • How to Change the Lock Core on a RockyMounts Bike Rack
  • Like you said, there isn't a master key for the RockyMounts lock cores. In order to change out a lock core you will need access to the back of the lock. Then with a small flat blade screwdriver or a knife you can press down on the pin that holds the lock in the housing and then push it out of the front. In the video I made, it is a Rhino-Rack part but the process is the same.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota Corolla
  • The values for the torque specs on the Curt # C11265 and Draw-Tite # 24913 trailer hitches that fit your 2017 Toyota Corolla are correct. The manufacturers of hitch make the directions according to how their hitches fit and are precise in their torque settings; the difference is likely due to the fact that the Draw-Tite uses M12 X 1.25 X 35 CL8.8 hex bolts, which are slightly different than the M12-1.25 X 30mm bolt of the Curt. I do recommend the Draw-Tite # 24913 due to the fact that...

  • Do the Cradles on the SportRack Trunk Bike Carrier Move While in Transport
  • I viewed the video (1:08 mark) about the SportRack 3 bike carrier # SR3152 that you referenced, and the cradles are actually pretty secure and will take a little force to move them around to the desired position. So you won't need to worry about the cradles sliding while you are driving down the road. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes and the weight capacity is 105 pounds. If you will be transporting any woman's, child's or alternative frame bikes, an adapter like # SR0500 will be a...

  • What Size Fasteners are Used to Install a Draw Tite Hitch on a 2010 Toyota Corolla
  • The bolts included with the hitch # 24913 are M12-1.25x30 mm. Most likely you have the correct hardware and the weld nuts just need further cleaning. Cleaning weldnuts out on a vehicle in order to install a trailer hitch takes a lot of time and elbow grease.

  • What to do if Bolts Don't Fit on Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for 2012 Toyota Corolla
  • We can help you with this issue, which is actually pretty common on vehicles that have a few miles on them, such as your 2012 Toyota Corolla, and the bolts that came with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24913 are the correct size. What happens in older vehicles is that open weld nuts (bolt holes) will amass some corrosion in them which will make it seem as if the bolts don't fit, when really, the bolt holes just need to be cleaned.

  • Does the Separate Ground Wire on Hopkins Trailer Wiring Harness HM11140415 Have to Be Connected
  • If the wiring harness you purchased has a separate ground wire then you will need to attach it to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface to provide a strong enough ground to complete the circuit. Even on plugs that have a ground built in, sometimes a separate ground wire is needed, like on # HM11140415 for example, because the regular ground is not sufficient for the extra load on the system.

  • Does Trailer Wiring for 2009 Toyota Corolla Need to be Grounded
