Question:

Hi, i bought this and it wobbles. I am not using any tool to make sure the anti wobble pin is super tight. I am wondering what tool is needed? Could I use an adjustable wrench? Do i need a specific sized socket? Thanks so much RV-and-Camper-Bike-Racks/Swagman S64650

Expert Reply:

The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64650 does not require a specific wrench or socket. It does use a 3/4 inch wrench or socket and you will want to move the shank up and down as you tighten the bolt. If you want a wrench and socket you can use the Ratchet with 3/4" Socket for Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolts # PTW38106-24.

You may want to use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031 to further secure your bike rack and bikes.
