Now we'll go ahead and give you a couple measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch, such as a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground we have 14". From the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost edge of the bumper we have 6". Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. To begin with, let's go ahead and point out the five rubber exhaust hangers that we're going to need to remove in order to lower our exhaust down out of the way enough to install our hitch. Now before we remove any of these rubber exhaust hangers we're going to go ahead and install a safety strap to support the exhaust so it doesn't get lowered down or doesn't come down too far where it could be damaged. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Subaru Forester- Video

Today on our 2009 Subaru Forester, we are going to install part number 13147 from Curt. All right we will go ahead and show you, the hitch mounts up to the body of the vehicle and to get started we are going to have to actually lower the exhaust so we have more working room. All right also what we are going to do is put on a little safety strap, you can use a wire or something, just to control the exhaust so when we take it off the hangers it will not come falling down. All right we are just going to spray them down with some lubricant. And there is one up towards the front of the vehicle we will need to undo also. You are going to do the same two on the passenger side. Now with the exhaust out of the way you get a better view of the frame rail. What we have got to do next is go ahead and remove the rubber plugs here and here. We will just pop out this one here. With that one I think we can just grab a pair of pliers and pull straight down. All right we will do the same thing on the passenger side. more
