Video Transcript for Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar Collar Replacement Review

Hey everybody, Clayton here at etrailer.com . Here in etrailer, we install, test, and review a lot of different products to help you as a customer, make a more educated decision before your purchase. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'll be showing you how to install the replacement swivel collar for our Falcon all-terrain, our Falcon 2, and our BlackHawk 2 all-terrain tow bars. There is no need to replace your entire tow bar if your swivel collars do get messed up. It's a very easy component to replace, and much less expensive than replacing the entire tow bar. Now, these aren't gonna be damaged very commonly but these do happen to drag the ground or they're just rusty and you wanna replace them.

Or maybe this bolt broke, or you just chewed up the threads, something like that. This is definitely something that you're gonna be able to replace at home. Our new swivel is gonna come with all the according hardware, being our bolt, our two nylon washers, and our nylon lock nut. You're only gonna need two tools to replace this. So that's nice.

And that's probably gonna be something that you already have. You just need a quarter inch allen key, and a 9/16th inch socket. Just gonna put these on here like so, and then loosen that up. We can then thread off our nut. And if you still have the nylon washers, I always like to keep a couple of extra those lying around.

So just pull that bolt out carefully, and catch those washers as they come out. Now when you look at the end of your arm, you're gonna see a channel right here. You just wanna make sure that that channel is lined up with the holes in the end of your arm. We're not ready to install our new collar. We wanna grab one of those washers, just kind of hold it there on the inside.

We can use that bolt to kind of support that washer while we're installing it. And we just wanna line that up with the hole in the end of our arm. Slide that bolt through, we can grab our other washer, drop that down and just slide that bolt through. Now we wanna grab that nylon lock nut, and start threading that back on. We can grab those same tools and tighten it down. We just wanna snug it down. We don't wanna over-tighten it 'cause we do have a torque spec. We can now come back and torque it down to the amount specified in our instructions. And if your collar is messed up on the other side, you'll repeat that same process. Now that we have our swivel collars installed, we're ready to hook up to our vehicle and hit the road. That's gonna do it for our look at and our installation of the replacement swivel collars for our Falcon all-terrain, our Falcon 2, and our Black Hawk 2 all-terrain tow bars..
