Today we are working on a 2004 Honda Accord. We will be installing Curt hitch part number
11327. Here are a couple of measurements that will assist you in ing accessories for your
new hitch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost point of the bumper
is 3- ½ inches. From the top of the receiver tube to the ground is 11- ½ inches. This
will assist you in ing accessories such as a draw bar, bike rack, or cargo carrier. Now
let us go ahead with our installation. We need to lower the exhaust to install the new
hitch. Before we take our exhaust hangers off, what we want to do is take a strap to
support the exhaust. 0:42 Now that we have the safety strap on, we can
go ahead and remove the exhaust hangers. I like to use a little lubricant on the hanger
before I remove it. This will just make it easier for removal and re-installation later.
You will see that we have got one hanger in front of the muffler and one hanger in the
rear of the muffler. There is our rear most hanger on the drivers side and then I will
move up to the front hanger on the drivers side. I will go ahead and repeat the same
process on the passengers side. Now that we have got the exhaust lowered, we are going
to measure back from our forward most heat
shield fastener. Now that we have the mark made, we are going to
remove the heat
shield and drill our 5/8th hole. Then I will repeat the same process on the passengers
side. 1:45
