Tin Soldier Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I got a reciever off eBay for my 91 legacy and I can see the two bolts that goto the tow hooks, but I am not sure how the front two bolts mount up and I wondered if anyone knew or had pix. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quailman Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 If you know what brand the hitch is, go to the manufacturers web site most of the major hitch manufacturers post installation instructions. QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
970subaru Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 there are some slugs in the frame rail that you have to drill out, then there are these goofy nuts with a strip of metal attached to them so you can thread them throught the frame rail, so the bolt for the hitch has something to go into. whew. hope that makes sense, but it sounds like you do not have the special bolts. oh, its a big PITA to install.

SaltCar Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=58424 Check this thread. I posted my experience there. I lowered regular bolts with large washers down throught the holes I drilled in the "frames". Half wrap wire around bolt under washer so the wire holds the washer from falling off. When the bolt comes out of the hole, grab it and hold it while you pull the wire out. I did have to tighten one with an impact wrench to keep the bolt from turning. Could tack it if you have access to a welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is absolutely what I needed to know. Thank you so much. I have the special bolt things. I just wasn't sure what to do with them.
