Just doing some general preventative checks and touch ups when u decided to check his tow ball mount to see for any evidence of rust.... Concluded with a high possibility when I couldn't even get it out lol. Any1 have any ideas with this one?

The one winning for me atm is find a nice big tree, snatch it up and drive away lol.(removing the ball that is)
But somethings telling me that's probably not the best approach to this task lol.
