  Hey Mark that is a bummer to hear. Have you been lubricating it at all this time? I know it's easy to forget to do that but if you do skip the components can get frozen up and hard to use.

  Hey Kevin! That is correct. Do you already have of these parts in hand? The A25 Head # C16580 only comes with four bolts for installation.

If you look at the A16 head it is narrow and mounts on the inside holes which can be seen in the installation video below. Something like a Q20 head is wider and fits the outside holes. All of them are using...

• Difference Between # CU53FR and # C16024 Curt 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Legs for 2020 GM Puck System
  The Curt # C16024 fifth wheel legs you mentioned fit the A series hitches from 20k and up; the A20 # C16540, A25 # C16580, and A30 # C16590. They're technically designed for the A30 because of the legs's 30,000 pound rating but they still fit the other two. With that in mind they will not, however, increase the weight capacity of the other 2 hitches. The # CU53FR legs fit all of the same hitches plus the Q Series and E Series hitches as well. These legs even fit the A30 however they are...
