try to insert a grade 8 bolt from the backside of the mount.


No way. There isn't even enough room to get a nut in there, let alone a bolt. If I could even get a nut between the hitch mounting plate and the tube part of the frame I'd be O.K., but that's not possible, as far as I can tell.

No cooking on my part, Lloyd, but that sounds like a valid tip.
