Question:

What is the size of the nut that needs to be tightened with my torque wrench. Largest socket I have is 32 mm and it’s too small so need to buy a bigger one but don’t see it mentioned what size this nut is?

The 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 6,000 lbs # C40004 will use a 1-1/2 inch socket like # ALL643210 or a wrench. If you aren't using a torque wrench, you will need to make sure that lock washer is fully compressed to ensure that nut has been tightened enough.
