Hitch pin removal

Recommended Posts

Well I have to say that it feels good to have that hitch pin replaced and having added a factory drawbar. I was fortunate that my draw bar came with another pin all I had to cut the old one out! Plenty of anti seize upon installation.

Anti seize will be your friend in the future!

I try to give my hitch pin a twist every once in a while just to make sure it still moves.

Second the Never-Seez® use. I use it on all hardware.

 

After tap, tap, tapping with a 1/2" Ø rod for what seemed like an eternity, I was able to knock out a pin, undamaged.

Wire wheeled and cleaned the ends well. Never-Seez® on installation, a bit of PB Blaster now 'n then.

 

Guess, too much retired time on my hands, remove the pin and clean it up probably twice a year. :)

A stuck hitch pin is bad news. Right up there with a gummed up carb!
