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.

Hey Jamie, how did things go when you swapped out the hitch balls on your Weigh Safe 180 Hitch? Did using the replacement kit and pin make the process any easier this time? Your experience could help others dealing with the same setup.
