complete, quality kit with very good and thorough instructions.... This is my second rebuild using this kit on my Falcon 2 towbar.....
It is not for all Blackhawk tow bars.
My son and I rebuilt the tow bar with your kit. Everything went together well and I am very satisfied with the product.
Alex was very helpful and made it easy for me
Awesome kit. Instructions made sense to old mechanic (me)
Solved my problem
The pieces fit perfectly, and fixed the problem I had with my tow bar. You can’t ask for more than that!
Probably the easiest thing I've done is rebuilding my Falcon 2 towbar. Everything I needed with instructions came with the kit. It works better and doesn't shake like before. If you have to do it, this is the kit to get.

Tow bar has been used 6 times since the rebuild and is doing just great. Of course, regular maintenance is always done, cleaning, greasing, painting, etc. Very happy with the rebuild and may end up doing it again in 2-3 years.
Great kit, instructions are a bit weak. Search for videos on how to use it, there are several. One of the 3/4” top lock nuts supplied was defective and would not go all the way on to the bolt. The staff at etrailer sent me a replacement at no cost! Results were worth effort, my 15+ year old towbar is like new.
good instructions.
Overall experience with Etrailer is excellent! Even with a few mix-ups and mis- communication on both our parts, Etrail;er has made every effort to make the situation right to my satisfaction in a timely manner. In particular I am very impressed with the helpful videos on installation and product reviews. on the items I've purchased-BIG HELP! Better yet was the fact that Etrailer installs what they sell for no-charge, granted one has to schedule somewhat a few days in the advance and need to drive to their location in Missouri, but it was so worth it for my 2020 Chevy Traverse baseplate installation since I had to be in the area anyway. Plus they did a video of the installation.
I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED GREAT SERVICE AND FRIENDLY RECEPTION WHEN DEALING WITH ETRAILER. THANKS FOR BEING THERE.
RESPECTFULLY

GREAT! Too many times I have bought repairs kits of sorts only to find some of the parts are wrong size or possibly missing or whatever! When I bought this kit it had EVERY replaceable part required and they fit!!!
Repair kit arrived as described, had all the parts I needed, and then some. I was most interested in the hardened locking pins as mine were worn over time. Included instructions are pretty good with photos, would have been helpful to have the exploded assembly diagram, the one with numbers pointing to the various parts. During the overhaul process I learned that arms were sliding harder and harder due to the corrosion and dirt inside the square tubes. Hardest job was getting that cleaned out. Once cleaned out lubed with silicon sliding easy again.
All the parts you need for rebuilding your tow bar system. Instructions were not real clear but I did get it all back together safety. Had to call Roadmaster for clarification.
Repair kit was perfect for the Falcon 2 tow bar. You may end up with parts over as it covers older and newer versions of the tow bar.
Read the instructions a number of times and make a copy to use while repairing as the original gets dirty fast. There is a you tube which has good info on correct reassembly.
Overall not as easy as I first thought but great satisfaction when job complete and better awareness of why you use only silicone.
I am a big etrailer fan, great expertise help, if needed and fairly quick shipping, usually about a week to get to northern Cal. As for this repair kit, it is almost everything I need. Not hard, but you will need a 1-1/8 socket or open end wrench and a 5/8" allen wrench, a little larger than I use for around the RV type stuff. Also it is recommended that you buy Voom RV cleaner and I didn't read that until after I received the instructions.
Kit was fine but couldn't remove the arm fitting to replace the pin and spring.

It could be that the arm was overextended which has caused it to lock out. To release it from that position, you will need to remove the dust cap by the latch assembly. Then, you can take a screwdriver and press down on the anvil inside the arm. I will send you a diagram that should help place each part via email.
Service was great,order arrived in a short time. The instructions were clear even for me. I really like my Falcon ll tow bar. The rebuild kit was needed because I never covered it in eight years. Now it will be like new. Keep up the great service you have a outstanding product. YOU can believe I will keep it covered now.
repair/replace kit for my roadmaster tow bar, a complete package with instructions, simple reasonably priced, I would definitely use this company again
My Falcon 2 had seen many years of use both before and after I acquired it. I had a struggle with the release of the Lock pins and the shafts did not collapse as easily as theyhad earlier in its life. The $38 rebuild kit was a welcome option vs a several hundred dollar replacement bar. As usual etrailer got it to me fast and I was able to complete the procedure today after the mail run. My only difficulty was that the two 1-1/8” nuts proved to be more than a match for my tool collection. I ended up taking the tow bar to a nearby garage to have those very tight nuts removed and renewed with the provided replacements. Well worth the $10 gratuity. Not complaining, I can appreciate the necessity of these connections being so robust because of the critical job they are called on to perform. The kit I received didn’t have the epoxy pictured on the web site but I had some but didn’t find it necessary to use any due to the extremely snug fit of the plastic caps after heating them up in boiling water. Anyway, the tow bar is now back to spec, the budget wasn’t busted and I won’t be dreading disconnecting my dinghy going forward.
After sitting for a few years my falcon2 tow bar arms were frozen. My fear was full replacement. After seeing this item I had to give it a shot. I was able to restore my tow bar to full functioning condition and happily have my tow bar back in service on newest tow behind vehicle. What a relief. Thanks again.
Had my tow bar overhauled and works like when it was new about 18 years ago.
Thanks much to the folks at eTrailer.
They always have me covered.
I have been perfectly satisfied with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar.
