Today on a 2011 Kia Sedona we are going to review and install the Curt class 3, 2 inch receiver hitch, part number C13345. Now here is what it's going to look like once it is installed. As you can see just below the rear fascia is our completely steel round cross tube, and fully welded constructed hitch. The hitch itself has a nice black powder coated finish to resist rust and corrosion, and the cross tube will lead to our chain hold down on each side. By the spin roll that goes through our receiver tube and our class 3, 2 inch by 2 inch receiver tube. The hitch itself is capable of up to 350 lbs of tongue weight and a 3500 lbs tow capacity. Next, we will give you a couple measurements. This will assist you select accessories such as a ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hold to the outer most edge of the bumper is approximately 6 inches. From the top of the receiver tube opening down to the ground, is approximately 12 inches. Next, we will go ahead and show you the minimum tools required for installing the hitch. We are going to use our 1/2 inch tube brush and a spray lubricant, 3/4 inch socket, using extension, ratchet, and then our torque wrench. Now let's go ahead and show you just how easy it is to install the hitch. Now that we did our install, let's go ahead and point out the attachment points. Now we are going to have a total of 6 attachment points, 3 on each side. These attachment points are weld nuts built into the frame by the manufacturer. Keep in mind each process we do here on one side, we are going to repeat identically on the opposite side. Before we attempt to install the new hardware into the weld nuts, we are going to clean them out, because over time, the threads of the weld nuts will build up rust, dust, dirt and debris and can make it difficult to install the new fastener. So using a spray lubricant and our 1/2 inch nylon tube brush, part number 814092 we'll thoroughly clean the threads of the weld nut out before we attempt to install the new fastener. Now we finally got the threads cleaned out, we will take one of the new bolts and go ahead and thread it into the weld nut. Now each one of our attachment points is going to get a new, 12 millimeter bolt, and a 1/2 inch cog through the washer. The teeth of the washer will face the hitch as it goes through the hitch and into the weld nut. We are now ready to go ahead and install the hitch. We will take the fastener side, and feed up above the tailpipe. Then we bring the driver side up to the frame. Now keep in mind when you install our fasteners, we will install each one finger tight until they are all in place. Now once all the hardware is installed, we can go ahead and tighten it down. Once we have it tightened down, we can go ahead and torque to specifications as indicated in the instructions. Now with our hitch installed we are ready to hit the road. And that will do it for our review and install of the Curt class 3, 2 inch receiver tube hitch, part number C13345 on a 2011 Kia Sedona.
