take out the hitch and reverse the bolt when you put them back in.

I removed all but the 2 bolts in the front of the hitch, I just loosened them. You will have to put something under it to support it near the bumper though. If you don't use it and plan to take it off eventually, just do so now.

Remove hitch. Not sure if turning bolts around is a good idea. If I were to have turned mine around, the length of the bolt would have hit the frame.
