Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Honda Odyssey - Curt C12031- Video
Today on our 2005 Honda Odyssey we'll be installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver in a Class II with an inch and a quarter opening, part number C12031. Here's what the hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll give you a couple of measurements in helping you choose accessories for your hitch, such a ball mount, a bicycle rack, or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost edge of the bumper is approximately two and a half inches. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground is approximately thirteen inches. Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. To begin with, we'll go ahead and install our safety strap. This will support the exhaust once we remove two exhaust hangers so we can gain access to our weld mounts on the passenger side. Now that our safety strap is in place, we'll go ahead and use a little spray lubricant and a pry bar to work the two exhaust hangers off. Once the exhaust hangers are loose, we can go ahead and lower the exhaust down enough to give us a little bit more access to our two weld nuts on the passenger side. We'll be using a total of four weld nuts, two weld nuts on each side and one carriage bolt and spacer block that will be fish wired in on the driver's side. We'll go ahead and clean the weld nuts out using a bit of spray lubricant and a half inch nylon tube brush, which is part number 814092. Once we have all four of the weld nuts cleaned out now we can go ahead and use our fish wire to put our carriage bolt and spacer block into place. more
