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 are fished through the vehicle frame using the fish wire provided with the hitch.

I will provide a link below to the installation instructions as well as installation tips that illustrate how to drill your holes, fish the bolts through the frame, and remove the exhaust from the hangers.

For somebody possessing average mechanical ability, the install should take around an hour.
