Sounds like a wrecking bar (seriously). Also known as a PRY BAR.

There are some dang big ones available, I got mine at LOWES. BIGGEST THEY HAD!

It was called a "Gorilla Bar"

What is it Mr. Murphy said? "If it jams - FORCE it. If it breaks - it needed replacing anyway..."

That isn't the way to go. You need this to work smoothly.

I'M the dynamite and C-4 guy, you ain't supposed to go there...

- You shouldn't have to.

I'm almost tempted to bust the hitch b/c I want a new
one anyway. It would be a passive/aggressive way of
getting what I want.

I'm OTR Saturday. I'll post back what happens.

Thanks for everything.

You get around memphis - I'd like to meet an adventurous Lady like you.

I wish I was there and could just get it right for you. I have a bad feeling about that 5 hitch.

Bad feeling? I'll do a ritual or something. Ouch. I'm
planning on being extra careful.

Tennessee, huh? Next year maybe. Stayed in Kingman, Arizona
for two months this trip so I could see my Dad. Won't do that next
year, so I'll get further east a lot faster next time around.

And heck, I've always wanted to see Graceland and the Grand Ole
Opry, and I actually have some old Army friends in Louisville.

That thing I was talking about available at truck stops is just a J shaped rod with a T-handle on the end of it, about 3' long. Mine has a label on it: Happy Un-hooker multipurpose wheel pin puller. If you ask for a pin puller, they should know what you are talking about. Good luck getting her un-stuck, and be safe in your travels.
