not let the exhaust drop, support the exhaust during installation.

over the rubber isolator, and swing the opposite side bracket over the isolator while shifting the hitch to one side. Feed the remaining bar under the fascia (it

might be necessary to gently pull the fascia out for additional clearance). Push the hitch up against the bumper rail. Bend heat shield if needed for

installation.

4.

Feed the pull wires through the slots of the bracket. Shift the bracket into location as shown. Pull the fasteners though the bracket. Remove one pull wire at

a time (being careful not to push the fasteners into the frame rail) and attach the conical washer and hex nut as shown. Repeat with remaining fastener.

Hand tighten only at this time.
