Flip the carrier basket assembly upside down and slide the hitch tube assembly into the center support tube. Align the holes and insert a pin with clip (G).

Step 3. Flip the carrier right side up and install the ramp bracket (C) using the carriage bolts (J) and lock nuts (K) using a 13mm or 1/2" wrench.
