making sure block spans both sides of slot.

back up into frame. Install conical washers and hex nuts on all (4) bolts and do not tighten.

7. Reinstall muffler isolator hangers.
Note: check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. If hitch is removed, plug all holes in trunk pan or other body
