Question:

I have the e2 round bar hitch now. I have had this hitch for 6 years now . There seams to be a lot of play in the head were the round bars go. I would like to replace the head. I know this will work. I want to take the ball off my old head and use it on the new head. Do you sell the right socket? Thanks

The Replacement Head for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA94-02-1055 uses a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank and the nut on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank takes a wrench with a 1-7/8 inch socket. If you don't have a 1-7/8" socket we do have a thin walled 1-7/8" socket available with the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket - 3/4" Drive - Chromium-Vanadium Steel # ALL643216.
