Campin LI,
Key is that YOU are willing to see the other side and MAYBE change or adjust your position
Take that thread whether to grease or not...goes to the thread where I decided to leave for a while
Same topic, but know most won't get that either
The torque wrench used to tighten that ball to OEM spec (in some cases...+400 ft/lbs) is in the three feet range....if the trailer coupler needs grease and the general advice
here is to NOT grease...has the potential of a +20 feet lever arm loosening the ball
Some even say to ignore the OEM torque spec and just tighten it REAL GOOD...or some such
Worse if folks listened to advice that they can lightly tighten and then glue the nut on
How long will it take a bit of grit between the ball and coupler to further loosen it ?
Or this discussion where some folks chimed in to say OEM has dialed in margin...even 2X or more...so okay to go over is the potential assumption that some might take...as there is extra margin....or to ignore the RATINGS because there is margin...or that they have for decades or thousands of miles with no issue
Again, congratulate you for an open mind
