Sure the trailer coupler isn't 1 7/8" and the ball 2"??? 1 7/8" isn't
common,
but it does exist.

Grease on the ball is good -- keeps the coupler from wearing. But it
shouldn't
be a fight to get the coupler to drop over the ball. That's not adjustable.
Either
it's the wrong size or the coupler's bent. I'd find a buddy with a trailer
with the
same size coupler and try sticking your ball into it.

My trailer hitch has to be greased to slide over the ball (yes they are
the same size). Then it's a real B*%#ch to get the lock to lock. Could
this be due to the fact that the chrome on the ball is gone or could it
be that the trailer tongue lock is set too tight?
