Removing Stuck Pin on Ball Mount Platform of Rapid Hitch # AM3410
Published 08/30/2018
Question:
Hello I am moving up from a 2inch to 2 5/16 ball. Unfortunately the pin holding the ball in is flat faced with no screw hole or to grab/pull onto. Any suggestions on how to remove the pin. It seems really tight. I have not done any banging or prodding as I will be working on this swap out this weekend. Thanks

The pin that holds the ball mount platform of the Rapid Hitch part # AM3410 that you referenced should slide right out as it was not pressed. It may have some dirt or grime built up in that area which is making it harder to push out. If use small punch with a hammer it should break that free and easily slide out.
