Question:
I've had one of these before and I remember it was kind of a pain to find and replace the hitch balls. Is that still the case?

Great question, Jamie!
To replace the dual hitch ball setup on the Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount for 2.5" Hitch # WS82CR you just need the Replacement Kit # WS53CR.
When it comes to removing the Pin # WS88CR you'll need a 1/4"-20 screw/bolt to thread into the tow ball pin and then you can pull the pin out that way to swap out the hitch balls.
