Trailer Hitch Installation - 1997 Pontiac Tran Sport Van- Video
Today on this 1997 Pontiac Tran Sport short wheel base, we are going to be installing Hidden Hitch part number 87410. This installation will also apply to Draw-Tite hitch part number 75278. We are underneath the vehicle and for clarity purposes I am going to go ahead and lower the spare tire to get it out of the way. Taking a look at the passenger side frame rail, we are going to go ahead and point out the mounting locations for the trailer hitch. As you can see, we have the exhaust over here on the passenger side. And the bracket is held to the frame with two bolts. We are going to be removing these bolts and using those two weld nuts in the frame as our two middle attaching points for the trailer hitch. If you look forward on the vehicle, we have a large access hole here and then an oblong hole. The oblong hole is only going to be on short wheel based models. We are going to be using this as the forward attaching point for out trailer hitch. We are going to be taking a carriage bolt and block and feeding it through that hole. And then also here, at the rear section of the frame, we have a nice flat surface. Once we get the hitch up into position, we are going to be using the hitch as a template and we are going to be drilling 1/2 inch holes here at the end of the frame. 1:00 more
