Sounds like a "ball" breaker

Anybody know what size the nut is for the ball size 2 5/16?
The largest I have is 1 1/2 inch and the nut laughed at it...

On my hitch head (with the same size ball), the nut is 1 7/8". You'll need pretty good torque wrench to pull that too - I think it's 450 ft. lb. Best to take it to a shop and have them torque it for you.

When I had to redo my hitch I just stopped by a local shop and they torqued it for me for free. Just ask nice if they can do it for ya.

I'm thinking that is what mine is. I need to shop for a torque multiplier.

Ok. Before I get to drunk to walk, I went out to the garage. Looks like 50-300 on the HF 3/4” drive

Or as old Merle (aka: Buffalo Butt) at work once said when asked how he was going to torque a nut to 200# with a 100# torque wrench: I'll just click it twice.

Sometimes we miss the "Old Merles" don't we? Sometimes those folks can cut right through an issue and get right to the simple answer....
