Review on Black Reese Towpower 21536 Towing Starter Kit with 2-Inch Compatibility by Uriel Arocha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good deal but not easy to replace

Is this good quality? Heck yes, and more along with a stylus and attached 2" sphere, but you better plan on using the included sphere if you don't have an industrial machine shop. I wanted to change the ball but I couldn't grab it tight enough to keep it from slipping. I took everything out of the hitch and clamped the base of the ball in a four inch vise with a pry bar and put a half inch powered ratchet on the nut. The ratchet bent the crowbar and vise rail, so I put it in a 6" vise with a 3" rail. I still couldn't loosen the nut, so I put a piece of tubing on the ratchet handle and bent the ratchet. Don't worry about this block falling apart on a rough road. After bending the ratchet, I slid the CV axle hub bushing onto the three-quarter break nut. I should have used a large vise and a bar breaker in the first place, but that seems like overkill. I could buy a non-ball mount for about the same price. :(

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Negative present
