Question:
The Allen wrench striped as I was trying to remove it from the hitch...I was wondering what size the set screw is so I can try to use tool to remove it.

Expert Reply:
The set screw that holds the locks such as # DTLBM02RK to the ball mount is a 0.05 inch so you would need a 0.05 Allen wrench. But if it is stripped at the screw too you may need to just try numerous sizes to find one that fits the best. That is usually what I do; bring every Allen wrench I have with me and try them until one fits.
I do recommend using some penetrating oil and letting it soak for about 15 minutes to make it easier to remove the screw.

Set screw stripped and #1 screw extractor not working. What’s the next step? Can I drill the set screw out and retap the threads? If so what size and thread count?
