Today on our 2003 Saturn Vue were going to
be installing the Curt hitch part number C12291.
Here are a couple of measurements that will
assist you in selecting accessories for your
new hitch.
From the center of the hitch pin hole to the
outer most edge of the bumper is 2-1/2 inches,
from the top of the receiver tuber to the
ground is 13-1/2 inches.
This will assist you in selecting accessories
such as a drawbar, a bike rack, or a cargo
carrier.
Now, lets go ahead with the installation.
For this application theres no tie down bracket
to be removed.
So we can start by cleaning out the existing
weld nuts which are in the side of the frame
and will be 4 of our attachment points.
To clean out our weld nuts well use some spray
lubricant and a nylon tube brush, part number
814092.
Now, with our weld nuts cleaned out were going
to move to our center attachment points.
Well feed the block and 1/2 inch carriage
bolt into the frame with our pull wire provided
with our install kit.
Now that we have all of our attachments point
prepared were ready to go ahead and put our
hitch in place.
