Are you the one who originally installed the Ranch Hitch, or did you purchase the 5th wheel with it installed already? I spoke with the folks at Andersen about your difficulties in removing the hitch adapter, and was told that they have never had that happen before. Two men with a 4 foot cheater bar should be able to remove the hitch without too much difficulty unless the previous owner or whoever installed the hitch for you might have spot welded it or bolted it in place without you being aware of it. If you are the one that installed it, and you know for sure there is not any welding or unknown fasteners involved you might have some luck gently and carefully applying heat to the hitch with a torch to get it to expand slightly. This would be what Id consider a last-ditch effort to remove the hitch as heating it could have a negative effect on the composition of the metal and I personally would not feel comfortable reusing it after it was removed.
