how to tighten the ball?

[thehippie]

How do you tighten the ball of the sway friction control when ther s no hex on the ball itself? There's no way to counter tighten it?

Take it to a truck stop that has a repair facility...give the guy a 6 pack...easy day.

X2 on the impact.

Channel Locks or Pipe Wrench....will mar up the chrome finish very nicely....:S

This: much better.

A good tip is to insert the ball mount sideways for tightening purposes. It's much easier to tighten up and down rather than sideways and underneath.

I use an impact on the nut. the ball will hold with the friction against the mount. as long as the threads are new its not an issue.

Pipe wrench or large pair on Channelocks on the base.
