• Aizsargbrilles un cimdi
• Wrench Set (various sizes)
• Griezes momenta atslēga
• Drill and 1/2-inch Drill Bit (high-quality, suitable for metal)
• Plastic Rivet Remover Tool (and possibly replacement plastic rivets)
• File or Grinder (for shaping drilled holes)
• Jack and Jack Stands or Vehicle Lift

4.2 Pirmsinstalēšanas soļi

1. Novietojiet transportlīdzekli uz līdzenas virsmas un ieslēdziet stāvbremzi.
2. Raise the vehicle using a lift or jack stands to provide adequate working space underneath. Ensure the vehicle is stable and secure.
3. Locate the mounting points on the vehicle frame. For the Honda Fit, these are typically near the rear bumper.
4. On the driver's side, it may be necessary to remove a portion of the plastic fender panel or wheel well liner to access the frame. Use a plastic rivet remover tool to carefully detach any plastic rivets.

4.3 Sakabes ierīces uzstādīšana

1. Drilling Access Holes: Identify the location on the vehicle frame where a new hole needs to be drilled for the carriage bolt. This is typically near the bumper attachment on the driver's side. Drill a 1/2-inch hole. It may be necessary to enlarge or shape this hole slightly with a file or grinder to allow the carriage bolt head and square neck plate to pass through.
2. Fish Wire Technique: Use the provided fish wire to guide the carriage bolts and square hole spacers into position inside the vehicle frame. Insert the square hole spacer first, then the carriage bolt, pulling them through the drilled access hole.
3. Positioning Spacers: Carefully insert the appropriate spacers between the hitch and the vehicle frame at each mounting point. Refer to the detailed diagram in the included paper instructions for correct spacer placement.
4. Lifting the Hitch: With assistance, or using a jack to support the hitch, carefully raise the hitch into position, aligning the mounting holes with the dangling carriage bolts and any other attachment points.
5. Securing with Handle Nuts: For the front attachment points (often near the spare tire well), use the provided handle nuts. These are designed to hold the nuts in place while you tighten the bolts. If a handle nut breaks, it may be necessary to hold the nut manually or use an alternative method to secure it.
6. Galīgā pievilkšana: Once all bolts are in place and finger-tight, use a torque wrench to tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque values. Refer to the specific torque chart in the paper instructions.
7. Atkārtota montāža: Reinstall any removed fender panels or other components.
