It sounds as if you have a Diversi-Tech or Fastway adjustable ball mount like part # DTALBM6600. I spoke with the manufacturer, who recommends that you use air tool oil to lubricate the lock and the pins that lock the ball mount into the hitch receiver. This is something that you might need to do several times before everything frees up. They also recommend that you remove the ball mount from the hitch when it's not being used.
