Is there a "how to " video for SuperGlide?

I can say that there are a few YouTube videos on the super glide...Not so sure any of them show how to break one down and properly maintain one?? I just referred to my manual the first few times and now I have a system... It really is pretty straight forward . .

I have a SuperGlide and based on my conversations with "tech support" the only lubricating necessary is WD40 before each tow. Don't know if someone has come up with a better solution but I just wet the rails, papertowel them clean and apply another spray.

You must have the hitch that uses slip plate. About every 2 years I would pull the head off, and then pull bolts that hold the big tubes in the frame. As I carefully pulled the tubes out of frame that would release the large heavy part that slides on the tubes. Can't remember the name of that part. Anyway I would use sandpaper and work it down to as smooth as I could get it. Then apply slip plate. I would put on about 3 coats. This put hitch in almost like new condition. Keeping hitch clean helps a lot. I bought one of their covers. This is not a video, but its that simple. Bought a long bed DRW, and really glad to just have a simple B&W.

I called the customer service department at Pullrite and they said just use WD-40 each time as SJTURBO also stated.

One must be careful in doing this.... The older version ( mine is from 08) uses a dry lube such as Slip Plate..... The whole hitch comes apart in pieces and is very easy to re-do.... The step by step instructions like stated by kennethwooster is pretty close to getting you all the way,...

Pullrite has changed the superglide several times over the years. The past several years use WD40 on rail tops and inside edges, and inside gap between plastic wear plates. Not sure about latch or slide tracks.

Older superglides used slip plate spray on on rails. Not sure what was used in the models before slip plate.

Yes please check age of your hitch. They started with white grease, then slip plate and now WD40. Make sure you know which hitch you have to prevent locking up and destroying the hitch.

I spray the hitch down every time I use it. With graphite spray. It is starting to hang up a bit.

What is hanging up? Is it the sliding mechanism? Or is it the hitch jaws that are hanging up. If the jaws, you would be wise to remove the head. Turn it over and make sure all the parts pivot freely. And all the escapement palls engage smoothly. And while you are at it, clean all the gunk out of it, and re-lube.

Pretty simple really. Not needing to take anything apart. Just cleaning and lubing.

Do you see what WE are doing; AGAIN. OP asked for a video, as he is a visual learner.
All the nice responders TELL him how to do what he needs to SEE.

Nobody addresses the question; Is there a video? I don't know/I couldn't find one, sorry

Yes, I wanted to watch a video. I am just afraid to take things apart unless I know what I am doing. The hitch was installed in 2010. I am a daughter of a mechanic. I just love to get my hands dirty :)

I think it is hanging up on the way tubes. It wasn't pulling away from the truck while turning like it should have.
