• Troubleshooting B&W Companion Slider No Longer Slides
  If the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400 has been sitting for a while or it's just been harder to slide then clean the rails and apply some white lithium grease like part # L11354. If you are still having trouble sliding the hitch locate the 4 Allen head bolts on each side of the carriage (for a total of 8) and loosen the top 2 on each side about 1/4 turn. This will release some of the pressure of the carriage on the rails and will make it easier to move. I confirmed all of this with my...

• Troubleshooting Coupling Issues With A Reese Sidewinder Pin Box And Reese 5th Wheel Hitch
  There are a few options to help ease your Sidewinder's coupling with your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047: 1. Make sure that your trailer is level.

You can use a lube plate like # RP83002. This helps the king pin slide into hitch with ease and also helps prevent scratches to the skid plate. 3. Lube the jaws of the...

• B&W Companion Pivot Arm Lube Recommendation
  It's possible the hitch was lubricated with a non-Lithium based grease but it's also possible it was, and the grease just looks different due to age. I'd recommend using a Lithium based grease like part # L11354 after cleaning off what you've found so far. I'd be shocked if you had an issue going forward actually, especially as you don't see any wear currently. That said B and W no longer offers us the replacement pivot arms or bushings.
