  In order to remove the existing hitch ball combo on your Andersen Rapid Hitch Ball Mount like # AM3411, you will first need to remove the internal pin that goes through the ball housing and hitch ball.

You can then simply turn the pin so that it starts to come out enough from the housing so you can pull it out the rest of the way. Once the pin is removed, the ball combo will...

• Adjustable Ball Mount For a 2021 Tesla Model Y With Shank Long Enough to Clear Rear Bumper
  Without knowing how much clearance you need from your hitch pin hole center to the rear of the bumper fascia I cannot know for sure which size will fit your 2021 Tesla Model Y. I do know on the Draw-Tite Receiver # DT58MR we found a 4" distance from the hitch pin center hole to the rear edge of the bumper. Based on this the Rapid Hitch # AM3411 having 4-1/2" from the hitch pin center hole to the nearest portion of the flange will clear.

• Troubleshooting Pin Removal for Hitch Ball Change on Andersen Rapid Hitch Ball Mount
  It sounds like the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit - 2 Zinc Balls - 5-1/2" Drop, 6-1/2" Rise # AM3411 has dirt or debris binding the pin. Since this pin simply drops in place as you can see in the attached video, the best way to remove the pin is to use some penetrating oil around that pin and then using movement to allow the oil to find its way to the bound location. I recommend using a rubber mallet to give vibration and movement to the pin while trying to twist the hitch...

• Measuring for Correct Ball Mount on 2017 Chevy Colorado

• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2016 Dodge Durango with 3.6L V6 Engine
  The transmission cooler I recommend for your 2016 Dodge Durango with a 3.6L V6 engine is the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13503 because of how efficient the cooler is. This is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep Series 8000...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for 2020 Chevrolet Traverse with Factory Installed Hitch
  For your 2020 Chevrolet Traverse with a factory hitch, I recommend the Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3411 because it offers different height positions allowing up to a 5 inch drop or 6 inch rise. This is recommended for vehicles with 20 - 24 inches of hitch ground clearance, making it a perfect match since your factory hitch protrudes out of the center bumper cover panel, much like our Curt # CU29FR, which has a 20-1/2 inch ground clearance. The # AM3411 features a...

• What is the Difference Between the 3300 and 3400 Series Ball Mounts from Anderson
  The 3300 series from Anderson, like part # AM3298, has a powder coat finish and is made of steel. The 3400 series, like part # AM3411, is made of aluminum so it have a better looking finish and will not rust. Another difference is that the 3300 series tends to be for more of a heavy-duty application because they can handle more weight. The 3400 series can handle weight up to 10,000 lbs so it cannot be used for as heavy-duty applications. I spoke with my contact at Anderson who confirmed this.
