Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Ford Focus - Draw-Tite- Video
Today on this 2009 Ford Focus, we are going to be installing draw-tite hitch part number 24805. It is a 1 inch class one hitch. Before we get started with our installation, we are going to go over couple of measurements that will come in handy when selecting accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers, for your new hitch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer most portion of the rear bumper facia measures 4 inches of rear clearance, from the ground to the top of the inside of our receiver tube, measures 12 inches of ground clearance. Now, we are going to get started with our installation. The first thing we need to do is start prepping the car for installation of the hitch. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Ford Focus- Video
Today on this 2009 Ford Focus we are going to install part number 11319 from Curt. The first step involved is to lower the exhaust. It looks like on this particular model there is two rubber hangers to remove. One here and one towards the back. Spray that down with some lubricant remove it from the pipe. We will take a pry bar and push the rubber hanger off. We are going to spray down this hanger in the back with some lubricant and pry it off. There is really not much to pry against or anything to get a hold of this rubber hanger so we used a couple of wooden blocks to give us something to pry against will work fine. First off we have got to worry about this going back and forth. Put the block right here so when we pry it over to keep it from pulling everything that way and for something to pry against we will put this block here. 00:50 more
