The Pintle Hitch Ball with 2-5/16" Diameter part # 63052 has a 1-1/8" diameter shank so the nut will need to be torqued to around 350 ft lbs.

Are these metric threads and what size socket should I use to properly torque this nut?

@Jeff The threads of the # 63052 are not metric and the socket size needed for the nut is 1-5/8 inch.
