yeah im thinking the same thing....i wonder if the comany sells just the drop in ball part of the hitch ? ? ? and im also wondering how many tanks of gas and oxygen its going to take to cut that part out.....or is it even possible to just cut out the ball.....
an other option i guess could be to take the hitch off the truck and take it to a machine shop and see if they could press it out or mill it out? ?? what ya guys think about that? ? :humm: |

If you get the whole set-up off the pick-up you should be able to get to the ball;to be able to hit it better. on taking it to a machine shop,it would probably be cheaper to buy a new hitch.

That company sells just the drop in ball. If you live in trailer country your local parts store can probably get you one.
Just go all out like me... My ball is welded to a 1" thick steel plate that spans the wheelwells and is bolted through to a fully boxed frame. |

Turn the pin 1/4 turn to the left, then pull. Easy, wasn't it? :tttt:

With the handle on the wrong side, and the ball behind the axle, I can bet you i know what happened. Buddy put it in properly, in front of the axle and handle on the drivers side. Then he went to hook up, and the trailer is too close to his bumper. So instead of spending the money and putting the proper adapter on the trailer, he gives the hitch a 180. He most likely complained how poor the trailer pulls as well, not knowing it's due to the ball being behind the axle.
Punch, BFH, drive the pin out, then pound the ball up. :tu: |

Being a shortbed I'd bet the trailer was to close to the cab not the bumper. :c:
poor people have poor...i should know cause im a local member of the poor boy commity :c: |
pull the lock pin go under the truck with a 4"x4" block of wood place it on top of a hy. jack and jack it up by the ball about 2"or3" off the ground and let it sit over the weekend. if that don't work pull the whole thing out and get a new one and put in right . with it being a shortbed you will want this.
