Hey everybody. How's it going Today, we're going to show you how to install the replacement wear plates for the CURT PowerRide, 5th wheel trailer hitch. So, the wear plates that come with your PowerRide 5th wheel hitch, these are going to need replaced with extended and frequent use. Now they're great. I really liked them because you don't have to worry about keeping track of an actual lube plate that moving around on you, And you also don't have to worry about messy grease. There is one drawback is that you do have to replace them from time to time.
This isn't something you're going to be doing frequently, however, but if you use your 5th wheel hitch a lot and how hard you use it, you will need to replace these in time. However, it's pretty cost-effective, they're certainly not expensive, and it's very easy to do. We can walk you through this entire process step by step, now. So, to start off for installation here, we need to go ahead and open up the jaws on the 5th wheel hitch. So, we're going to remove the pin here for the handle, and then we're going to pull out and swing open our jaws, just like so.
Now the next thing we're going to do is we're going to be removing the head assembly from the center section. In order to do that, we're going to grab a hold of this handle on the front here. Then we're going to have a pin and clip on the back and pull that out. This is what it looks like, nad then we can just pull our handle straight out as well. Now with our pivot pins removed, we can lift the head assembly up from the center section and set it on our work bench, and now what we're going to take a Phillips head screwdriver.
We're going to have seven total screws securing the skid plate here to the 5th wheel hitch head. So, you can see them along the outer perimeter. We have two that are kind of hidden. One down in here and then one over here. So let's take our Phillips head screwdriver now and begin removing each of these seven screws.
Now, since the screws are rather tiny, and we have some hard to reach places. If you have a magnet nearby, that's going to help us pull these out. So, now it will just simply tilt up the head assembly here. We should just be able to pry the plate off like that. We'll simply take our new plate here and install it onto the hitch head like that, and then we'll just carefully lay it back down on the table, Just like so. So, next we're going to take our new hardware that comes in your kit, the same Phillips head screws as before we're going to apply a flat lock washer, And then we'll simply just be using these to re-secure the plate to the hitch head. Now you need to be careful when you're tightening these down because you can easily over torque them and strip them out. So there is actually a recommended torch recommended torque spec for this. So you can get a torque wrench that reads an inch pounds in order to complete this, Or if you're careful, you can use just a standard screwdriver just to get them about finger tight and maybe another 1/8 inch of a turn or so. So that's going to be plenty tight for this application. But we've got one in here. We'll go ahead and repeat that same process for our other six screws. So now we've got one side replaced here. We'll just simply repeat those same few steps on the other side to get it replaced as well. And now that we have both wear plates replaced, we can re-install our 5th wheel hitch head and secure it in the same way we removed it. That's going to do it today for our look and installation of the replacement wear plates for the CURT PowerRide, 5th wheel trailer hitch..

Wonderful hitch. I don't have anything negative to say about it. I purchased the 30k Curt fifth wheel hitch mostly because of the inserted lube / wear plates. I don't have to worry about greases or the plastic disk. I don't have the chucking people complain about, and I feel my load is secure going down the road.

The built in lube plates help to ensure that you protect the hitch from getting marred up when connecting to the 5th wheel. And unlike some other manufactures the mounting location for the hardware in a good location. I would recommend keeping a spare set or 2 of the Wear Plates # C52WR in the event that they become damaged since they will not be as easily sourced as a standard lube plate. I do like...

- Differences Between Curt A30 and PowerRide 5TH Wheel Hitches For 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Long BedThe main difference between the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16070 and Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Long Bed is the Wear Plates # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for a Lube Plate # C16722 on the pin box.

Both of them fit the factory puck systems in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. I have linked a diagram below from Curt that lists the similarities. The main difference between the Curt A30 item # C16070 and the Curt PowerRide item # C36WR for your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 is the Wear Plates item # C52WR. These wear plates for the PowerRide remove the need for using lube plates like item # C16722. The handles...
view full answer... - Can A Lube Plate Be used With The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Hitch The Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER does have replaceable wear plates # C52WR to eliminate the need for a lube plate on your king pin, but Curt does state that a 3/16" lube plate can still be used.
view full answer... - Replacing Wear Plates On A Curt Power Ride 5th Wheel HitchAccording to Curt, you never want to operate your PowerRide # C22ER fifth wheel hitch without the integrated lube plates installed. I am not sure what would have caused the screws to shear, but they are replaceable. We have # C52WR which comes with 2 new plates and new screws. That being said, the PowerRide hitch is under a limited lifetime warranty. I recommend contacting Curt directly for warranty.

This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue...

In the event you are not able to find this bushing in a dealers left over inventory or want to go ahead and upgrade to a new 5th wheel before more parts break, I recommend the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C22ER. This hitch is similar to the Reese Titan as it also has removable Wear Plates # C52WR so you will not need a Lube Plate # 16721. It will fit...

Unfortunately, there is no estimated life span for these as there are to many factors such as trailer weight, pin box surface size, and any other dirt that can affect the life of the plates. Having the wear plates installed on the receiver does have its benefits over a traditional Lube Plate # RP83002. First you...
view full answer... - Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide For 2023 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Bed MountsPersonally I prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 over the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. With that said the Curt is rated for 30,000lbs while the B&W is only rated up to 25,000lbs so if you need to tow a trailer weighing over 25,000lbs you will want to go with the Curt. I prefer the B&W as it is made in the USA and has the quality B&W is known for. While Curt does not have a bad reputation I do not like the Wear Plates # C52WR on the Curt and if they...
