Expert Reply:
If you torqued all of the bolts that attach to the frame before installing the u-bolt then that is why you are experiencing an issue with getting it to install properly. If you skip to the 3:00 mark on the attached video of us installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13314 on a similar 2000 Honda CR-V you can see that our team member puts the u-bolt into place before putting the hitch up into place.
Keep in mind that trailer hitch hardware is only supposed to be torqued to specs once. If you already torqued the hardware down then you will want to use replacement hardware which can be found on our site with part # RHK. You will just need to enter your trailer hitch number (13314) and select the manufacturer from the drop-down menu.
