Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver to Proper Manufacturer Torque Specifications

Question:

I would like to self install a hitch on a Honda 2014 Odyssey but do not have a torque wrench. What options would you recommend for me?

There really isn't a way to torque your bolts to specs without using a torque wrench. Not using this will void your warranty because it wasn't installed properly. I recommend getting the Powerbuilt Dual Drive Torque Wrench - 3/8" and 1/2" - 10 to 150 ft-lb # ALL944001 or the Powerbuilt Digital Torque Adapter - 1/2" Drive # ALL940962 to convert your traditional ratchet into a torque wrench.
