Default Goose neck hitch

What is the easiest way to free up a rusted gooseneck ball? The ball is turned down. It is the style where the lever is in the drivers fender and the ball is in a square hole. I'd appreciate any help or ideas. The pin is rusted tight too

he means a torch but you can let it soak with pb blaster or something along that line and have someone pull on the pin and hook up to the turnball a solid ratchet strap so you have something to grip on

If you are talking about a bw turn over ball, I would soak it in WD-40 and then get under the truck and hammer it up with a good size hammer. it likely is jammed with dirt more than with rust
