Any ideas on how to free a rusted ball on B&W hitch?

Hey everyone, I finally concluded I have the B&W turn over ball hitch in the new to me truck I purchased. But the ball is rusted in the socket pretty good (or bad)...not sure when and if ever anyon...

3 ft pipe wrench with a 3 ft pipe to extend it. Or longer. You will be amazed at the torque you can put on it. Of course gentle heat and pb blaster will eventually free it. Someone may have put loctite on it and that often needs heat to loosten.


Once again, NOT a ball on a hitch, it is the turnover Goose neck Ball on a B&W hitch.
