Torque Needed For Nut of Reese Trailer Hitch Starter Ball Mount Kit # RP7043000

Published 04/04/2019

Question:

The RP7043000 comes with the ball mounted in the rise position. If I want to flip the ball mount into a position, I have to remove the ball, turn the mount upside down and reinstall the ball. At what torque do I need to tighten the ball on the ball mount?
