I have a towbar on a new ute and i cant get the tounge out of the towbar pin was frozen in with surface rust i drilled it out no locking bolts not welded in been soaking in inox for the last 3 days chained it to another ute and scull dragged it down a concrete drive it still wouldnt release borrowed an oxy and heated it orange Belted it with a sledge hammer drilled a hole in the top and dribbled in pool acid to disolve rust and injected around the tounge last resort i chained up a port a power and left it under load, still wont release it wont move at all ordinarrily i would hitch up a trailer and safety chain it and go for a drive Anyone have any ideas? without any other ideas im going to attack it with the angle grinder
Sounds like theres still a bolt hiding in there somewhere, or it needs some good hits with a hammer to free it. Can you somehow hit the ball with a hammer, even a slide hammer ? Watch out when it eventually comes flying out and cracks you in the face..........
