Tools Required for Hitch Install on a 2012 Audi Q5
Question:
What extract tools are required to install? I understand a torque wrench is needed, what are the torque specifications? Are any special wrench accessories needed to get into tight spaces? Thank you.

In the install instructions for the Curt hitch part # C13136 that you referenced Curt recommends safety goggles, a ratchet, T-20 and T-27 Torxbit socket, 3/4 9/16 10 mm and 13mm socket, screwdriver, 12 inch socket extension, a marker, a power drill, a 1/2 inch drill bit, a torque wrench and a cut-off wheel on a grinder.
The torque specs are listed in the attached install instructions.
I also attached an install video that details the entire install process as well.
