Today on our 2015 Kia Sorento, we'll be installing the Curt two inch receiver tube hitch part number C13152. First we'll go ahead and show you what the hitch looks like installed. Next we'll give you a couple of measurements to assist your selecting accessories for your new hitch such as a ball mount, bike rack or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole the outermost edge of the bumpers 4 3/4 inches. From the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground is 13 inches. We'll now go ahead with the installation. Now to begin our install we'll first need to lower and remove the spare tire. You can lower the spare tire with no means open up the rear hatch and using the spare tire tools once we lower it, we'll remove the cable and then remove the spare tire. Now with the spare tire out of the way, we'll lower the exhaust by removing the three rubber isolators from the metal hanger. There is one on other side of the tail pipe and one just forward to the rear axle. To assist the removing the rubber isolator from the metal hanger, we'll spray with spray lubricant. Now before we remove the rubber isolators from the metal hanger, we're going to put a safety strap underneath the exhaust to help support the weight. Then we can use a pry bar or pliers to remove the rubber isolators from the metal hanger. Now with all three rubber isolators removed, we'll go ahead and use the safety strap to help us safely lower the weight of the exhaust. Now with both frame rails are exposed and we can go ahead and point out the attachment points. There is a total of eight attachment points, four on each side. On each side two of the attachment points will be the wield nuts built into the frame by the manufacturer. The other two are predrilled holes in the side of the frame by the manufacturer. We'll utilize this eight attachment points that are already presetup. In overtime the wield nuts are going to build up with rust, dust, dirt and debris and can be difficult to install the new hardware. To clean out the wield nut, we are going to use a spray lubricant and a 1/2 nylon tube brush part number 814092 and we'll thoroughly clean out the threads of the wield nut before we attempt to install the new fastener. Once we have it thoroughly cleaned out, we can go ahead and take one of the new fasteners and thread it into the wield nut to make sure it will go nice and easily. Now before we install the hitch, the bumper indicator on the inside of the frame rail make contact with the hitch hardware. We'll just use our cut off wheel to trim the indicator. Attachment of the hardware will be a new 10 millimeter nut and conical tooth washer. The teeth of the washer will face the hitch going up through the predrilled attachment point of the hitch into the wield nut. For the predrilled holes, we'll be using the long carriage bolt and flange nut. The bolts will go from outside the frame towards the inside. On the passenger side we'll use the spacer block on the outside that the bolt will go through . the carriage bolt will go through and then through the frame. Now we are ready to install the hitch. It's a good idea to get an extra set of hands to help you hold the hitch while you install the fasteners. We'll feed the hitch up over the exhaust first and then bring it up to the frame. We can thread our fasteners into the wield nut and we'll hold our hitch in place. Now with all our fasteners installed, we'll go ahead and tighten them down. We'll start with the wield nut fasteners first. Once we have all our fasteners tighten down we can then torque to specifications as indicated in the instructions. Now with all the fasteners tighten down and torque to specifications, we'll go ahead and reinstall the exhaust. Next we'll reinstall the spare tire and we are ready to hit the road. And that does it for the install of our Curt Hitch part number C13152 on our 2015 Kia Sorento. .
