Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Ridgeline - etrailer.com Video Clips. Duration : 7.28 Mins.


www.etrailer.com Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information. Today we are installing a hitch on a 2008 Honda Ridgeline hitch number 75280. We are going to start off showing you the holes where the hitch will mount up to. It is these three here and it is the same on the other side, plus being two more on the fascia. The first step to lowering the exhaust, sometimes it helps to spray some type of lubricant on the hanger itself so you can take off the rubber grommet easier. So after you do the first one, then you do the same to the back. In some cases, after you lower the exhaust, the heat shield that is around it may come down, as well, so you have more clearance and more access in getting to the bolts on the hitch install. In this case, the heat shield is flexible enough to just move it out of the way to get the hitch installed. Before you install the hitch it would probably be best to inspect all the holes that the hitch is going to be using to install it. It probably would be best to run a bolt through just to make sure that there is no debris in the way. After you remove the exhaust brackets and the exhaust hanger we are going to take down the heat shield behind it, as well, to give us more clearance. All right, now we are going to raise up the hitch. And keep in mind that the hardest part to this hitch is going to be on both sides. I will point that out, because it is pretty tight clearance ...
