Put a lot of black grease on the ball and then go put on your best pants that you own. Now walk past the ball and get the grease on your pants. WRONG. The ball requires NO grease. Manufactures will tell you that the grease on the ball will attract dirt and grit. You can use spray grease to lubricate the locking mechanism but none on the ball.

The number 1 name in towing sells this product . I will go with there recommendation and grease my ball.
