Please help!

I've tried belting this thing out with no luck. At the moment, I've got some scissor jacks on it trying to pull it out and it won't budge. I've lubed it up and will leave it over night. But surely someone has a great idea that will work...



Thanks all

Take the pin out?
Haha

I would try using an oxy set and heat up the outside box section till it gets a dull glow the with a chain around the tow ball or remove ball and use hole drive away from it either tied to a big tree or a forklift or something while it's still hot. It should expand making it pop out then clean inside and out to get rust out then put it back in covered in grease should be sweet
Don't shock load chain a steady pull should do

I put a sling around it tied off to a tree and drove off worked easy as

Make sure you run a pin in it and tether so it does not shoot off .... we had one take off down the street once (yes I know )

Really big hammer. Big sledge hammer. Hit bot sides sideways a few times hard the belt it out. Try this. Few times. Heat it up and hit it again.

I doubt very much that the jacks will work mate.

Might sound funny but if it is rusted/seized in there use coke (the drink) leave it for a couple of min and give it another go.

Yeah you could try a block and tackle around a tree for tension the give it a good hit. I would not do the dive away option though! It could end very badly

Ahh, had this on my last Pursuit Ute.

What you have to do is act real serious like. Stride up to the side mirror and whisper, in your real serious tone, 'sorry buddy, but we've gotta tow a Cruiser' and it should spit the hook straight out in disgust.

have had one of these myself spray the crap out of it put some tension on it heat if you can and lay into it you will need at least a 4lb hammer. its just mud and rust in there make sure you hit side to side and top and bottom.
