   • Top Fascia Area: Use a T20 star driver to remove (2) screws near the trunk weatherstrip.
   • Wheel Wells: On the driver side, use a T15 star driver to remove (3) screws from the rear side of the wheel well trim. Repeat on the passenger side.
   • Disconnect Lights: Detach the light on the wheel well trim before partially removing the fascia on both sides.
   • Hidden Screws: Using a 7mm socket, pull back the wheel well trim and remove (1) screw from both sides.
   • Carefully disconnect all wiring harnesses from the fascia and set the fascia aside safely.

3. Remove Bumper Beam:

   • Use a 15mm socket with a 6” extension to remove (4) M10 bolts and (4) M10 flange nuts.
   • Lower the exhaust hanger bracket gently before fully removing the bumper beam. Return the bumper beam to the vehicle owner and set bolts and nuts aside for reuse.

Safety Notes:

• Regularly check all fasteners to ensure the hitch and ball mount are secure.
• If the hitch is removed, plug any holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent water or exhaust fume entry.
• Replace any damaged hitch or ball immediately.
• Wear safety glasses and follow precautions when working beneath the vehicle.
• Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.
