Today we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 24814 on a 2008 Toyota Corolla. Underneath the vehicle, we are going to go ahead and point out the mounting locations for the trailer hitch. Here on the passengers side, you can see we have got the exhaust right here. Just rearward of that we have got two existing weld nuts - one here, and one here. Those are going to provide the two attaching points for the trailer hitch here on the passengers side. And then here on the drivers side we are going to be using the same two weld nuts - this one here, and this one here. So, before we get started, we want to make sure we thoroughly clean out the weld nuts to make sure that we can get the bolts in easily. To do that, we are going to take a spray lubricant, like a WD-40, soak the weld nuts, and then we just take a wire brush and just run that in there a few times. That will help release any road grime or rust that may be in there. We want to do that for all four of the weld nuts.

Now that we have got the weld nuts thoroughly cleaned, we can go ahead and put the hitch up into position. OK, now that we have got the hitch up into place and the bolts hand-tightened down, we can go ahead and torque them down. We want to go ahead and check with our directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each individual bolt. And, with the bolts torqued down, our installation is complete. This will conclude the installation of hitch part number 24814 on a 2008 Toyota Corolla.
