I've never had a rear hook installed, but the hitch uses bolts that bolt into nuts that are part of the frame (3 on each side).
yep.
The rear hook uses two of those bolts and one that is off to the side with a nut insert thing. (I assume it's a nut insert thing). The tow hook looks like a T:

Forgive how awful that diagram looks, but if you are looking up at the bottom of the tow hook under the jeep, the Os are bolts that are used and the X is a bolt that is not used. J is the way the hook sticks out. Maybe a photo would have made more sense.
18mm bolts they are, and you will need an extension just to get to reach the second center bolt (the sides of that part are a channel you need to get the socket into).
But in any case, you need that nut-zert. I can try to take out the one I have (since it's no longer being used), but I remember trying to and it was a real pain.
