Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11158 is rated as a level 5 out of 10 on the difficultly scale which should only take you around 30 minutes or so to install. The tools you will need are as follows:
- Ratchet
- Torque Wrench
- Power Drill
- Tin Snips
- 15/32" Drill Bit
- 6" Socket Extension
- 11/16" Socket
If you don't have a torque wrench then you can usually rent one from your local auto parts store for free. If you take it to a shop then you most likely will only be charged for 1/2 hour labor which will be around $50-$60 but can vary.
