Today on this 2007 Saturn Ion we are going
to be installing Curt hitch part number 11447.
We are underneath the vehicle looking at the
drivers side frame rail, the first thing we
need to do before we start installing our
hitch is lower the exhaust down.
Depending on your model, you may have two
or three exhaust hangers to remove the exhaust
off of.
On this model we have just two, one here at
the rear of the vehicle and one here at the
forward side, just rearward of the exhaust.

To remove the exhaust off its hanger 
we are going to use a spray lubricant and
go ahead 
and 
spray 
the studs down.
An then you can take 
a pry bar, or set of pliers like I will 
be using, and go ahead and separate the 
two pieces.
You want to do 
the same thing at 
the rear exhaust hanger.
