The complete purchase process was great. Placing the order was simple, easy, and the hitch shipped very fast.
Total time to install: 1 hour. On a Honda CRV 2005.
Hints: Start on the drivers side first, installing the bolts w/ the wire tool, then, move on to the passenger side. This will make think allot easier. Also, make sure your "U" screw fits into the Hitch. My "U" did not being to wide, but, it was an easy fix. I placed a rug underneath the "U", on a "C" direction on the ground, then, covered the top w/ a towel, then, softly, hit the end w/ a mallet. I did this three times. After each hit, I would see how much more I needed to go, took three hits before it fit perfect. That was the only minor problem I encountered. This is a SOLID Hitch. Also, make sure to purchase Silicone spray or something similar, for the Muffler Hangers, makes the holders slide off with minimal effort. Also makes re-installing them a breeze.
Initially, I tried to do this install alone, trying to attach the "U" screw to hold the Hitch, then attach everything else, however, after I modified the "U" Hitch, my wife came and asked if she could help, I had the bolts in place, so all she did was hold one end up to the car body, while I attached the bolts by hand, then, I tightened the bolts alone. Recommended two people job for five minutes, then, the rest can be installed Solo.
I also love the wire tool. It works so incredibly easy, and efficient. Great idea!!!!
