Hey John, with weight distribution systems like the Reese Strait Line part # RP66074 that you referenced the trick is to use the trailer jack to raise the nose of the trailer while its connected to the hitch ball to raise the rear vehicle suspension enough that the spring bar tension is basically removed and you can easily pull the spring bar off of the hanger.
