Hi All,
From the outset I will admit I am an idiot for letting my current problem occur.
But now I have this problem I am hoping for some advice (if possible)
I came back from a trip to
Moreton Island, and thought I cleaned everything down thoroughly.
But 2 weeks later, I find out my slide in - slide out hayman reece towball seemed to be stuck in the hayman reece coupling.
I can remove the pin, but not the slide-out coupling
I assume this is from corrosion & sand build up.
I have applied heaps of WD40 but no good.
I can not get behind the coupling to hammer out because the fuel tank is in the way.
I am trying to avoid completely removing the tobar if poosible.
All advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
TonyG

Patience Tony patience.
A friend had one stuck as you describe. We were on a boys day out and it was getting in the way on one particular
hill so it had to come out.
We sprayed it with WD40, pushed, pulled, sprayed, jiggled, bounced, sprayed and bashed it until the sun was nearly set. But it did come out.
We did not have trees, chains or heavy hammers, just a very small ball pein hammer and a shifter.
Patience and persistence.
Duncs
