Towbar Factory Fitting Instructions Y62

[MudRunnerTD]

Here is the factory fitting instructions for a Nissan Factory Towbar. The same rules apply basically for most of the after market Towvars too. I have fitted an aftermarket towbar to my S5 Y62 without these instructions but YouTube was my friend.

Worth noting is the Factory Loom plug for thr reverse proximity sensors is up in the rear drivers bumper. You can unplug the entire rear bumper from here and don't need to touch any of the sensors to fit your towbar.

Ok so removing the rear tail lights. Follow these photos and when you have removed all fixing grab it ans give it a forceful tug.

These measurements were my first measure. Once cut I then ended up taking a fair bit more and also from the bottom return edge to allow fornthe curve of this Towbar.

Test fit, refit, adjust, make it work. Make sure you can get the top back in, if you cant then take more out of thr bottom until it fits. Again, note I did not have the instructions above when I did this, nor did I have a template.

I run 295 tyres and had to fully deflate the spare to about 3psi and then pull it in with a Ratchet Strap to make it fit under. I needed to massage this up in there. I now carry an ARB compressor in a box with a pump up kit in the back permanently if I have to inflate it on the side of the road. RACV don't carry air so it would have to be flat bed towed if I didn't have a compressor.
