Wanted: Someone to install my trailer hitch

[Garrett]

Ok I bought the hitch, wiring and even nice little single rail trailer! For my car over a year ago. Welp I finally got off my lazy ass and got the trailer plated and legal.
Now I just need someone to do the hitch. Paperwork says it will take just under an hour (Professional: 20m, Novice (DIY): 40) and I literally can't find anyone willing...? I can probably handle the wiring section I just don't have the required tools to drill and such into my car.

Car in question:

Can pay in beer/cash/VW parts. Prefer to be close to the south shore but I can travel on a weekend if you're willing.

Thanks fellers

I'd be willing to trade installation for...lets say....a 98 Buell M2 Cyclone

Where on the south shore?

[Petorius]

What are the required tools? Sounds like a good excuse for you to buy tools.

Where South Shore? I might be able to help you out if you're ever around central MA

are you sure you have to drill holes?? Most of them time they use existing holes to mount to

The instructions say to drill holes.

Yep. I'm in Hanover.

You'd be getting the short end of that deal, id feel bad

I'm in Brockton on Sunday evenings, Hanover's not too far. I've got the tools to do it, doesn't look like it'll take much.

As far as pulling the exhaust out of the way, take a peek under there. It sounds like it'll just be popping a couple of hangers off but if there are bolts involved, check to see if they're rusted to hell first.

From experience, have a big breaker bar ready.

Breaker bar, torque wrenches, sockets, jack, drill and bits, etc... I'm pretty well sorted for most small to medium repairs.

I haven't been underneath my heep in a while but i believe its just rubber hangers that pop out.

[-Dutch-]

Sounds about right. Yeah, if you want to do it Sunday I'm available after six, just PM me an address.

The link to the video I showed shows that particular hitch installed on that particular car. Just exhaust hangers.

Cool. I'm at work pretending not to be on NESR, videos are a no-go at the moment.
