Finally got to installing the hitch last night. The WD40 worked perfectly. I have the 11 Journey and the Curtis 13335 (i think that's the number) hitch. Here are my comments: - the two back rubber hangers and the two front are easy to get off; its the two inside rear ones that are trouble as the spare tire cover limits the room - once the muffler is lowered, the installation of the hitch is easy and i was able to do by myself. I rested the hitch on the spare tire and loosely installed the passenger side first by screwing on the middle bolt first. - the driver side was a little tougher as their is a wire harness that gets in the way. I had to pull this in towards the center of the car - to reinstall the muffler, i started at the back and got the outside ones on first; then the two forward ones and finished with the rear inside ones (again hard to get too!) - final note was that the spare tire doesn't go straight up anymore....the hitch gets in the way. What I did was pull the tire forward and up and over the hitch part that gets in the way. Then tighten it up all the way Hope this helps!

What did you use to pry them off with? i tried some things last night and i couldn't get the one off in the center of the car. I was able to get the back one off but nothing worked on the center one. I do need to try WD40 though!!

I got a new 2011 Journey R/T last month and lately the car has had a problem sensing the key in my pocket. Until last night, it was only the locking/unlocking function but last night while I was driving, the message display said the key had left the vehicle! Anyone else have a problem or know what to do? Thanks
