The size of the install bolts that secure the Curt hitch part # C11681 to the rear of your 2015 Honda Accord are 7/16-14 x 1 1/4. These are included with the hitch as well as all of the other needed hardware to install the hitch.

If for some reason you needed new hardware we can provide that if you order part number # RHK.

I attached a picture that shows all of the included hardware plus an install video link for you to check out as well.

Thanks @ChrisR! Can you provide the torque reference guide for the bolts. I found this generic guide and the limit for 3/8 bolt is less than 45 ft-lb of torque for all types of grade 8 bolts. C11681 installation guide lists 45 ft-lb as the installation torque. I want to make sure the torque is within the specs.

@Farrukh The 45 foot pound torque listed for the 3/8" hardware in the manual is correct. There won't be any problems torquing the bolts down to this spec.
