Please help!

[happygu]

Lent mine to a mate after his was stolen just before a trip across the red centre. When he got back we could not budge the damn thing, we tried everything except coca cola. He just bought me a new one and was still in the vehicle when he sold it. You would think it would have eventually worked loose, but never did.
Hope you have better luck as some of the members have in removing it, flogging it from behind May mushroom the box section and worsen the problem, heat and tension while bashing left, right, up, down often a good soak in some lube or something like coca cola to loosen the rust and dirt may be best

So .... Parksy must have bought your mates truck with your old towbar tongue in it ..... now it is all making sense.

The way I see it, Gavshe obviously owes you more help than a little verbal support on the forum ..
