Trailer Hitch Installation - 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis- Video
Today on this 2003 Grand Marquis, we are going to install part number 13707. The first thing we are going to show you is where the hitch mounts up to the frame. There are no existing holes in the frame. So what we are going to have to do is go ahead and hold the hitch up, mark our holes and then drill out the frame. To prepare the frame, what you want to do is make sure you have gotten rid of any large weld splatters that are along the seam right here. This one is in pretty good shape but if you see anything you can take a chisel to it and just knock it off and it will be clean right there. The next thing that we need to do is make a mark from the end of the frame towards the back about 1 inch. And we will line our hitch up with that. It is about 1/8 of an inch past this point right here. You can see how the steel wraps around. Basically right on this seam right here, where it was welded, will work just fine. So, we will line our hitch up against that. We will make sure we mark it even on both sides. 0:51 more
