The access hole on the mazda 3 frame is a large round hole on the side of the frame so its a bit tricky to get the fishwire out but i was able to stick my finger through another hole on the frame to coax it through

The instructions say to kink the fishwire so the spacer can be pulled through apart from the bolt

This will save you some headache because the 2 furthestforward holes make you thread bolt spacer through a smaller gap in the frame you wont be able to see which is frustrating

Also be sure you use the proper bolt holes because if you get it all set up and the bolt is in the wrong spot it will be nearly impossible to fix

This was problematic for me on my 2010 because the bolts were thoroughly rusted and one of them just broke off in my ratchet

After the hitch was up and over it was simply a matter of carefully pushing it up onto the bolts and threading the nuts onto them

After fingertightening them i used my ratchet extension to secure them which was slightly difficult on 2 of the 6 bolts which were partially obscured by the hitch frame

The next step is to replace the detached bolts but i havent done that yet since mine are rusted and broken
