For your Self-Locking, Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w Chrome Balls - 2" Hitch - 6" Drop, 7" Rise # DTALBM6600 or similar, you started with the right idea. Penetrating oil is your best bed to loosen corrosion and grime. If the lock doesn't free up your best bet is to use the Re-Keying Kit for DTLBM and DTALBM Series Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts - 2 Locks # DTLBM02RK.
