Hitch Bolts Do Not Want to Thread Into Weld Nuts on 2008 Dodge Nitro
Question:
Morning, I purchased the trailer hitch and electrical harness for a Dodge Nitro 2008. The bolts will not thread into the frame nut. Sorry, do not have the invoice handy. Please advise.

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the weld nuts need to be cleaned. We recommend cleaning the weld nuts with some spray lubricant and a tube brush # 814092 or wire brush # DW00254. The tube brush will help clear out any dirt, debris, or rust that has built up over time and is preventing you from installing your Curt hitch # 13334.
I have attached a review video of the tube brush and an installation video of the hitch on a 2008 Nitro for you.
If cleaning the weld nuts does not help, please feel free to let me know and I will gladly look into other solution for you.
