Today, in our 2007 Mazda CX-7, well be installing the Draw -Tite Max Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver in a Class III with a two inch opening on the Receiver, part number 75512. Heres what our Hitch looks like installed on a vehicle. Now well go ahead and give you a couple of measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your Hitch, such as a ball mount, a bicycle rack, or a cargo carrier. From the center of the Hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper is approximately six inches. From the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground, is approximately 11 and a half inches. Now, lets go ahead and install our Hitch. Now, to begin with, were going to go ahead and add a safety strap to give the exhaust a little extra support once we remove the rubber hangers. On this particular vehicle, it is not absolutely necessary that you use a safety strap, because there will be two other hangers that help hold the rear muffler in place, but with the weight of the muffler, its a good idea to do it anyways. Now, well only be removing the two rear exhaust hangers. To get these off, we use a little spray lubricant, and a large pry bar, or if you have an exhaust removal tool, that works great too. These can be a little difficult to get off, as they are a little tight on the hanger, and once we have the two rear rubber exhaust hangers removed, with the exhaust tilted down out of the way, well need to open up one of the two holes that well be using for mounting the hardware on each side. more
