As I said in an earlier post I found out I have a 16k Husky Hitch with a Husky Roller mounted on rails in the bed. The trailer has a Reese Sidewinder. As soon as I can get to the trailer tomorrow I will check the wedge mounted on the Sidewinder to determine if it is the proper one for a Husky Hitch and if not replace it. However I just discovered that the Husky Roller installation instructions indicates that the Husky Roller is not compatible with the use of a Sidewinder Even though the previous owner has been running this set-up for quite a while I plan on removing the Husky Roller in favor of some fixed mounts since the roller capability is not needed. A new issue I noticed is that the very large bolts on the ends of the Husky Hitch that provide the front-to-back tilt pivot point are very loose. To the point that I can manually lift the hitch and the bolts basically flop around in the holes. I have searched and searched but I can't locate any information about the torque or set-up requirements for these large bolts. Does anyone have access to this information for a Husky 16k (also marked Valley 7054 in small print). The hitch is about circa 2007 or so.
Thanks
