Tow hitch install

So I like to mountain bike ride at various locations.  On my last car I installed a tow hitch.
I searched Craigslist.org and Amazon.com

I found a junk yard here in Arizona with a scion that was wrecked.   Its a pretty friendly yard and you can pull your own parts or ask them to pull them for you for a charge of course.

I went to see how many parts I could find for my xb.  I needed 2 rear seat head rests, the drivers side fender inner liner for sure.  Optional items I was looking for was a tow hitch and catalytic converter.   

I found 2 good seat heat rest, the inner liner, and luckily the junk yard car had a tow hitch.  For 50 bucks I couldn't beat it.  So I went back to my car and brought my tools.  Well I brought my electric 1/2 in impact gun.  But forgot all my sockets.  Luckily I had my adjustable wrench and was able to use it to break the bolts loose and bring the hitch home.  It is a CURT Trailer Hitch   I brought it home and installed it to my XB that night.   

1. I removed the stock tie down hangers at the rear end. 
2. I had to remove the rubber exhaust hangers to lower the muffler down to gain access to install the hitch.  
3. I then raised and installed the hitch using the bolts supplied with it from the junk yard.  
4. I then re-installed the muffler to the rubber hangers.   
5. Basically, that all it takes to install the hitch.   

Bolted to the frame in place of the rear tie down hangers.

Time to install - approx 45 min.   On my back in the driveway, with the wheels on the ground.  Could be down faster if you put the back end on jack stands.

Tools used - 14mm socket for the hanger bolts, 17 mm impact socket for the hitch replacement bolts, lubricant, pry bar, impact gun.
