There is minimal assembly required for the Thule T2 Classic bike rack # TH69TX. You will only need the included Thule tools, a 5mm Allen wrench (also included) and 1 flat head screwdriver. I have included links to the instructions for you so you can see what all is involved in assembly. I would say 15 minutes to a half hour and you'll be ready to load the rack in the hitch.
