Weight Distribution bar - using a pipe ... ?
We have lost the pipe to lift up the weight distribution bar ... what do you use ?
Forum Discussion
Lots of opinions, short answer, get a replacement pipe, you can order one, buy one locally or find an alternative pipe that works fine.
It has to be big enough to slip over the stub sticking out, strong enough that it won't bend, long enough to give you some leverage, and finally short enough that it will go on the stub and not hit the ground...
I use my tongue jack to ease the effort but don't jack high enough to be able to use my fingers.. I have also seen a custom pipe that was longer and had a slight bend about 6" from one end. I asked about it and the owner said he needed longer pipe to ease the effort but it hit the ground so he modified it so it does not hit the ground, but still gives him all the leverage he needed...
Happy hunting.
