Necessity it the mother of all invention.
My wife told me not to use the red Loctite!
Ingenious! Well except for the plastic bumper. Bob

Looks like he is trying to change the hitch ball and the nut is frozen. Interesting approach however.
Jack Off or Jack On? Mr. Miyagi would be proud.
I bet it's a man as always failed to read the instructions as we all do this time it was
on how to use the jack
It's a little scene I would call "Just before I cracked the bumper." 😁

A bigger impact is in order.
Not much can withstand a good 1" impact wrench.

It looks like the hitch can be installed either way as a adjustment for height and I the photo has it to rase it higher than the bumber
I have similar but different design hitch to adjust the height of the ball
About 35 yrs ago i Will add I had a receiver hitch stuck in the the receiver on a truck I had bought
I sprayed it with penatrating oil for days beat the crap out of it would not release then did the Bubba method and don't recommend it
I put a chain around a tree and on the hitch ball and gave enought slack to build force
Nothing so each time I would allow more slack and more speed the truck would stop dead in its tracks my head continued on into the windshield and cab hurt like heck
Made me mad so more slack more speed and hung on tight .
After xx Amount of tries it Finley pulled fee
Looking back I should have just left in in place

Dad, you said to get the ball of the hitch, you didn't say how !! 🙄
are you sure this is righty-tighty lefty loosey? could this be a lefty tighty righty loosey? do you know?
I just about had it and the wife had to go to the store. Going to be days finding all my tools.
It's all about the money and bad choices. What we are dealing with here folks is either a cracked plastic bumper cover that can be replaced and painted for around $600.00 or repair the cracked cover & mask & paint for about $250.00 and hope the crack repair doesn't fail in a couple of years, or you could just trash the ball mount and ball for $80.00 and be done.
time for the heat wrench
If that wrench comes uncorked and hits a bystander, they're getting coloring books for Christmas.
Yup. Can't be tight if it's liquid.
