Stupid hitch receiver pin lock!!!

[JStieger]

For the life of me I can't get my receiver pin (Hidden Hitch brand) lock unlocked! I tried both keys. It has been on there for 2 years since I never had a need to change the drawbar height until I picked up a new trailer a couple of weeks ago.



Any ideas aside from breaking out the torch would be greatly appreciated!

You can try soaking it with penetrating oil...



But I'm in the same boat. Mine won't come apart. And if that weren't bad enough the pintle hitch is one solid piece too. And the ball won't come out of the bed.



I'm going to cut the hitch pin with a cutting wheel on my grinder.



Road salt sucks.

You guys have got some balls!







Sorry, couldn't resist!

After 2 weeks of spraying the lock with WD40 and PB Blaster everyday I drove over to my friend's place and used a torch. Done deal in 15 seconds :-laf !

Dremel with a cut off wheel took mine off.
