Check that the contact surfaces inside the side members are clean, if not, clean them opposite where the towing member's side plates shall be
tightened.
-
Take the towing member from the kit and insert the two side plates in the holes in the rear edge of the side members.
-
Take screws and reinforcement bar from the kit. Get assistance to hold and adjust the position of the towing member when the screws are tightened
into the towing member's weld nuts. The silencer and deflector plate need to be pressed down to allow the screws and reinforcement bar to be

Tightening the screw joint
-
Tighten the screws to 90 Nm (66.5 lbf.ft.) and angle tighten to 60 degrees. When angle tightening joints in tight spaces, a protractor cannot be
fitted to the torque spanner. A hex screw head must instead be used to determine the angle.

Make a mark on the screw head flange (1).
-
Make a second mark (2) on the reinforcement bar.
-
Now tighten the screw so that the screw head marking (1) lines up with the marking (2) on the reinforcement bar.
