Removing a Weld-On Trailer Coupler to Replace With a Bolt-On

Question:

When I remove the weld-on coupler and plan on using one the same size as a replacement is there anything special I need to be concerned with or do to the frame?

If you're removing a coupler that is welded to the trailer and replacing it with a bolt-on coupler, like # HT87076, t would be a good idea to sand and paint the tongue. Then you will need to drill the bolt holes.
