I am 65 yrs old. I have been doing nearly all my own car repairs since I was 16. I have fabricated many tools to save money over the years. Your thread cleaning tool is new to me and I am very impressed! If you haven't, you need to do a short video just on that.

[@djlto77]

Thanks for the video, I feel more confident to try it myself.

[@CTPark-so5sk]

Excellent video!! Very straight forward process.

[@carrotcake1955]

Great. Thanks. How did you touch that bolt without getting burned. Wow

[@MrAdmiralDrew]

Great video, thanks! Do you have a video for installing the electrical hookup?

[@trailerhitches]

Wiring is a separate part and therfore a separate video. here is the Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqTOZXpshdh8eJI

[@a1jsmiller]

turn the background music down please.

[@GrummanRV]

it all seems very easy. Oh yeah, it's way harder to do if you don't have a hoist in you garage. Doable but a real pain in the butt.

[@webyankee6558]

I did not notice that you reconnected the tail pipe to the hanger, did I miss that?

[@trailerhitches]

It got connected, we just forgot to film it.

[@mgarciber1]

How much can it cost to make this installed in a dealer or the mechanic?

[@trailerhitches]

Labor rates are different in every state, so put your info into the link in the description and you can get a quote at your nearest U-Haul hitch center!

[@mgarciber1]

Thanks so much I hadn't seen the link.

[@musiochavez1566]

So I just leave the muffler hanging there without remounting it to the hitch or body?

[@trailerhitches]

It did get remounted, we just forgot to film it.

[@GrummanRV]

You don't need to remove it anyway; I just did it without.
