Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Mazda CX-7 - Draw-Tite- Video
Today on our 2008 Mazda CX7 we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame class three trailer hitch receiver, part number 75512. Here's what this hitch is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. As you can see, overall it's pretty well hidden. Really what you're just going to see is the receiver tube here, the safety chain connection points, and then over here is the bracket that's welded onto the crosstube that's going to allow you to mount up wiring. It's really nice, because if you're planning on towing a trailer on a regular basis that's going to give you a nice easy access point to be able to get to your wiring and not have to pull it out of your trunk or just have it connected down here. That gives you a good sturdy location so that you can always get to it easily. Now this hitch has a 2" by 2" receiver tube opening and this nice welded-on reinforcement collar around that receiver tube opening. more

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
