  "question": "Which tools are needed to install a child bike seat or a trailer hitch?",
  "answer": "THULE Yepp Nexxt Maxi: The exact frame-mounted seat required little seat assembly beyond removing packaging and routing the support bars. Mounting the block used four of the supplied bolts and the included Allen key; two bolt lengths were supplied for different tube thicknesses. The mounting diagram specifies tightening four bracket fasteners to 8 Nm.\nTHULE 20100506: The store describes installation as tool-free because of the ezHitch system. The store instructs the buyer to mount the hitch to the carrier before cycling.\nTHULE Cadence: The 101018-series manual includes procedures for unfolding, installing wheels, wheel deflectors and the handlebar, fitting ezHitch to quick-release or solid axles, installing the hitch arm and attaching the carrier to a bicycle.",
