Today on this 2000 Honda CRV, we're going to install Part Number 24790 from Draw-Tite. This is what the hitch looks like when it's installed on our CRV. Next we'll give you some measurements to help you out in selecting some accessories such as a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of our hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the spare tire is going to be about 9-1/2 inches. From our top of receiver opening down to the ground is going to be about 15-3/4 inches. Now we'll go ahead and show you how the hitch is installed. Our first thing to get our vehicle ready for our hitch, we need to lower our exhaust out of the way. To do that we're going to spray the rubber hangers down up here with some spray lubricant. Then push pull the inaudible 00:00:46 off. There's 1 on this side, and there's 1 on the other side of the muffler as well up in here. Once we have it loosened we'll gently lower it down and out of the way. Now let me go ahead and show you where the hitch mounts up to the vehicle. It's going to use this existing hole right here, this tie down point, and this hole here. Now we'll have to install some hardware inside the frame as well, so we're going to have to make our hole just a little bit bigger to accommodate our hardware. What we're going to do is drill a 1/4 inch hole right next to it but as close as possible without going over to make our hole be a little bit bigger. Then we'll go ahead and take our drill and just grind it out that way. We're done with the driver's side. Let's go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger side. Before we install our hardware we'll go ahead and show you how it works with the hitch before hand. This is our bolt we want to put in, and our 3 inch long block. This will be inside the frame. Go through the hitch. In the bottom side we get a conical tooth washer. Make sure the teeth face towards the hitch. Then we'll put a nut on the bottom. This will be the same on both sides of the hitch. In the center it's going to be just a little bit different. The center loops going to use the longest of the 3 bolts. There will be only 1. This will be on the outside of the tie down hook right through here. The backside will get a block to go through here, and this will get another conical tooth washer and a nut. The tie down loop will be right here. Now to help us get our hardware installed we'll be using this bolt leader that comes with the kit. First we'll go ahead and put the block and the bolt together. Then thread on the bolt leader. Then we'll install both pieces to the frame 1 at a time, then pull it back down through the same hole. This is what's known as reverse pull. Now we'll take off our bolt leader. This is option. May be a good idea to leave it on there to help keep it from being pulled into the frame when you put the hitch up as well. It may help to use a block a little bit to help spread it apart a little bit if you need more. Now we can go ahead and put up our hitch. We'll take the passenger side and just gently lay it over the muffler and then go back to your drivers side and install the hardware. Let's go back over to our passenger side. We'll do our last attachment point here. Block inaudible 00:04:25 in between. Long bolt in our small block with the square hole. Go through the hitch. We get the conical tooth washer and a nut. With all our hardware loosely installed we'll go ahead and tighten it down and then torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. We'll be using a 3/4 inch socket to tighten down our bolts. At this point we can go ahead and reattach our rubber muffler hangers to the vehicle. We'll use some lubricant and put them into place. That's all it takes to install our hitch. That will finish it for part number 24790 from Draw-Tite on our 2000 Honda CRV. .
