Gooseneck Hitch problems
I just bought a 05 f250 and it has a B&W turnoverball in the bed. I pulled the pin and turned it toward the front of the truck so it would stay out, but I can't get the ball out of the hole. Currently it is upside down. I've tried crawling under the truck and hitting it with a hammer and it wont budge.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

soak it with a good penetrating lubricant...
Zep, WD40, something like that...
If you don't flip them often (or at least take it out and put it back in) they will corrode and freeze in place. I caked a copper based anti-seize on mine to prevent corrosion.

PB Blaster is also a good pentrating fluid. You might also try heat...
Like Rebel said, it is just stuck in there because it hasn't been moved in a long time--dirt/water/corrosoion are the problem. The shank should have a small cross-shaft looking up at you--anyway to hook on to that with a puller/pry bar? Or get a small chain hook down in the shank and hook it to one of the openings in the shank side and pull?
