Nice work Barney, thank you for posting.
If you don't mind a question (from a Hensley newbie)...
Did you do anything to the Over-Center-Latch bars (OCLs) when reinstalling them? My Hensley is now 1 year old, and I noticed my OCLs seemed loose when moving them into position last time out. After rotating them into place with the tool Hensley provides, they were tight as a drum. But I was wondering it the bushings (?) that they rotate around on the hitch need periodic replacement.
I hope I've described this adequately. Short version is they're tight and secure when latched, but loose when unhooked. I honestly can't remember if they were that way when I bought the hitch.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
