Today on this 2004 Mini Cooper were going to do a test fit of part number bx7365 from
Blue Ox. This is their Alpha Tow Bar. Now were going to use a test stand to hold our
tow bar up while we do our demonstration. Well go ahead and put it into our hitch and
install the pin and clip. Now the tow bar is folded to the side, so well unfold it,
well pull it up and over to the other side to release the pin that holds it in place.
Once the pin is in the center of the slot, now we can go ahead and fold it down.
Well go ahead and take the arms and spread them apart a little bit and well twist it
so you can see where it has its mobility right here. And, you can see on the arms, theres
a label on the side to tell you which direction is up as we install it. Take one of the arms
and extend it out to our vehicle. Well pull out the safety pin and the clip and well put
it onto the tabs and our Cooper and well line it up, insert the pin
and then the clip. We have one side done.
