Question:
How do you weld this to the trailer when the spring loaded pin extends through the steel mounting part? Do you weld it on and then drill out the holes?

Expert Reply:
In order to install the Curt Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack part # C28304 you will take a set of snap-ring pliers and remove the snap ring which will allow you to separate the mounting bracket from the jack. The mounting bracket will then get welded to the trailer frame. Once done, you can reinstall the jack to the trailer mounting bracket by putting the snap ring back on.

I have the same sort of Question as Ryan and I don't think the response provided answers the question. Out of the box, the locking pin extends through the mounting plate. If I weld the plate directly to the trailer frame this will prevent the locking pin from going back the full depth. Is this a safety issue? Should a spacer be used? I would prefer not to drill two holes in the trailer for the locking pin to set into.
