Today on this 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid we'll be installing the Draw-Tite Hitch, part number
24763. Here are a few measurements that will help when selecting accessories for your new
hitch such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the
edge of the bumper will be 4 inches and from the top of the receiver tube to the ground
will be 11 inches. Now we'll go ahead with our install. To begin our install, we'll need
to remove the plastic shroud on the driver's side. There are four pushpins and three 10-mm
bolts holding it up. We'll use a screw driver to remove the pushpins.
With that removed we next need to remove the exhaust hanger here which we'll use a special
tool to remove it. With that out of the way, we can now remove and trim the heat shield.
It has four screws holding it up, two on the outboard side and two on the inboard side.
With the heat shield removed, we will trim it here as this point will be where our hitch
will eventually mount up to while the rest will be sandwiched between
the hitch
and the frame.
