Mounting Hole Enlargement to Install Draw-Tite Class I # 24874 on 2012 Mazda 5
Question:
2012 Mazda 5 You and several reviewers have mentioned about enlarging access holes in the frame member. Does that include enlarging the one by the driver side near the muffler? Or is that in reference to the ones located in the passenger side only?
asked by: Jon J
Helpful Expert Reply:
The instructions for the Draw-Tite Class I receiver specify that on the passenger side frame rail the front-most attachment hole needs to be enlarged slightly. As an alternate, a 1 inch diameter hole can be drilled in the bottom of the frame member as shown in the diagram I provided. No drilling or enlarging will be required on the drivers side.
