Expert Reply:

Curt hitch ball # 40038 has a 1 inch diameter shank. For Curt balls with 3/4 or 1 inch diameter shanks you would use wrench # C20001. The nut on that ball should use the 1-1/2 inch end of the wrench.

You could also use a large crescent wrench if you have one large enough.

You will need a 1-1/2" wrench like part #C20001 in order to install the nut on the 2" Hitch Ball part #63845. A 1-7/8" wrench would be much too large.

That's an excellent question, and the answer is there isn't a hard-and-fast number that means a weight distribution hitch is required. The best way to assess this is if the sag is noticeable, either visually or when towing. You really…

We don't have a combo of the Curt Hitch Ball #C40008 and Curt Ball Mount #C45340. The ball mount is extremely heavy-duty, rated up to 17,000 pounds. I think it's safe to assume you don't have a torque wrench rated up to 450…
