Can't remove the spacers for the 2"hitch adaptor because the smaller screw does not fit any allen key wrench I have, none was provided. Need it off!?!

I have an Allan wrench to fit it. The size marked on the adapter is 010.9. Hope this helps.

It's a 6mm allen wrench. You'll also need a 3/4" standard wrench to bolt it to the hitch.

Not sure but it may be a metric hex-key size. Maybe a little WD40 or penetrating oil is needed to help loosen the screws. Good luck.

I took mine up to Pep Boys and they were able to release it with an air tool in seconds.Any shop can help.

I use the smaller hitch size, so no need for spacers. But I think you're right--I only got one allen wrench and that's for the large bolts in assembly. Take it to a hardware store and have them fit you with the right size allen wrench. It's a pain in the butt, but you'll have one. Good luck.

go get a 2" ball...you will need two large wrenches to change it out or take it to a rv center and they will...no real problems

The center of the hole IS about 1.5" from the end of the 1.25" shaft. The hole is about .5" in diameter. When I say "about" I mean I used a tape measure. Certainly within 1/16th of an inch. Perhaps you can grind the end off a bit if you need the distance to be shorter. Or if it's welds that keep the adapter from entering the hitch fully, perhaps chamfer the end.

I believe it's a standard Allen screw which should be available at your local Ace hardware,Lowes or Home Depot. Take the towel holder with you, they can help you buy the correct Allen wrench if you don't have one. The one I bought came with the wrench. Good luck

Am not sure. Mine are pretty tight and I wasn't aware an allen wrench was even needed. Sorry. But, if I needed to use an allen wrench, I'd just take my allen wrench tool, which has about 15 different sizes, and try them one by one until one worked. You can buy a tool at any auto parts store for $4-5.

I used the standard cotter key that is universal for all hitches. I got mine at Walmart.

You need the right size Allen wrench, I forget if it is US or metric, but all other parts are there.

the back of mine is very easy to unscrew. maybe yours was cross threaded. return it

it fit my bike hitch-i have the 2" truck hitch so i need to use the L-metal adapter brackets the bike hitch comes with along with the allen bolt provided with the bike rack hitch, also i can use the smaller pin that comes with the lock but it lets the bike rack wobble a bit with the adapters - reason i use the allen bolt the bike hitch came with (my bike hitch = Reese Carry Power SportWing Hitch Mount Bike Carrier, 2 Bikes)

You need a clear exposed piece of two inch hitch bar for it to fit on. That piece has to be about three inches long. It did not come with any adapters for smaller bars. It fits very snugly on the two inch bar. I think you would have to but an up adapter form 1 1/4 to 2".

I thought mine was faulty as well. But I was using the wrong bolt for the wrong hole. Bolt should not go all the way through, also it should not stop at flat(not sure the technical term) space -part without the thread. That part should go into the hole about 3mm. Watch this video and you will see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP_Wh_-RXzUNow I have nearly zero wobble, I think i will put some "black RTV" soon around the hitch, that should make it even more secure.

take the box spring off and change the spacer. then put box spring back on. I would suggest trying the middle spacer first, then if not right only have to change once.

From the back of the 2" adapter to the farthest pin hole in the 1 1/2 " is 4 1/4" ill try to post a picture with a tape next to it. you can always install it with the 2" lower than the bumper that's what I do. --(__[Bumper or __)--[Bumper

The existing spacers are just a friction fit on each end. Just gently pull up on both ends of each spacer (and wiggle) at the same time so they don't break. As these spacers get older they become brittle and may crack when you try to remove them. You can buy replacement spacers fairly cheap via Amazon too...might be wise to order a box so you have them when the original ones break. Take your time and you'll be fine.

Is it possible that the allen screw has been over tightened? That is the only thing I can think of that would result in your situation. If this is the case you can either try to use thread tape or a piece of string soaked in lock-tite to provide some "Traction" for the bolt threads. A slightly larger size bolt may also work in the already stripped threads. Good luck!

It's a spacer so it won't work for what you want. I would search for "adapter".

I am not certain of the term Allen 2 but I have both a 2" and 1.5" hitches and between the two pins it works fine.
