Have a new equalizer hitch. The sway bars need to swing out 3 to 4 inches to allow for disconnection to the trailer. They are incredibly hard to move! I'm just under 300 pounds and it took my entire body weight yesterday to disconnect. This morning I loosened the bolts that hold the square fittings that hold the sway bars. Backed them off a good quarter inch. Still stiff. Applied white lithium grease to the rubbing surfaces, very slightly better, still extremely stiff. The square fittings are firmly captured between the top plate and the bottom plate. Is there some trick to making them a little easier to work with? If it wasn't Saturday, I'd call their tech support but thought I'd try the wizards and veterans here first.


Thanks in advance.
