Question:
I have the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar. Once I park and ready to release the tow bar from the jeep, do I force the levers to remove the pins?

Hey Steve, once you are in your parking spot and are ready to unhook you can pretty much force the release levers of the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 and they will let go. That's basically what they were designed for.

Unfortunately when I attempt to release the non binding levers they do not move and Unfortunately one of them broke. Therefore it needs to be replaced.

Hey Steve, how did it go when you released the levers on your Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar? Did they let go smoothly once you were parked? Your experience could help others learning how to unhook theirs.
