D'oh... I need to reverse the draw bar so the hitch is 3/4 inches high.

I'm struggling with that because I don't have a 1 & 9/16" or 1 & 5/8ths wrench to hold the ball steady while I remove the big 1.5" nut and it's locking washer.

Guess I'm off to Princess Auto to buy a big cheap Chinese adjustable wrench.



The best tool for that is an impact wrench.



You can hold the ball with your hand that way

I think you're right. I'm sure that's the way they install the complete units at the factory.
