I see now. I would use an angle grinder to cut a slot though the nut and threaded part of the ball then buy a new ball. I use Master locks interchangeable hitch ball system.theyyounggun said:Ill post a pic if I can figure out how... But its not that its stuck in the truck. the ball is rusted together to the big nut and lock washer.

Also, if you get a wrench with a longer handle, you can increase the torque on the nut...unless the whole thing is spinning when you try to loosen the nut.

Yes. I was using a cheater pipe. I was using a crescent wrench that I use to change bush hogs blades on the nut and the teeth on a pipe wrench to grip the ball but it still won't move.
