Tools
4inch angle grinder/saw
Files or Dremel.
Hole saw. Have a good one.
2, 4, 6 inch ratchet extensions two sets if you have a helper.
Deep and standard depth sockets.
Small tube of caulk/glue used to hold washers in place in a couple tight spots where you need both hands.
We used a couple of self provided temporary nuts and bolts as place holders during fitment.
You will have two brackets leftover.
The only real challenge I recall was cutting using the hole saw. You sort of free cut the hole without using/having the benefit of using the drill bit.
I have now towed 700 miles.
The Maximus 3 with Blue Ox adapters and the holes are very close tolerances.
I sanded some paint on the contact points and oiled them a bit to assist the mating.
Keep a rubber mallet and gloves in your kit.
I ended up using shackles for the safety cables. Easier than the tight fit on the back hole of the tow point. They could open that hole by 1/8th.
