Lubrication Recommendation for the Reese M5 Hitches
Question:
Hello, I have a Reese PART NUMBER 30921 M5 Series hitch, which would also be the same as a PART NUMBER 30922 27K vs. 20K only difference. The manual shows rather poorly how to lubricate this hitch. I didnt see one, but do you by any chance have a video that would demonstrate how to properly lubricate this hitch? Thank you very much!

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the main difference between the 27K (part # RP30922) and 20k (part # RP30921) Reese M5 Hitch and the is the capacity.
I attached a picture that shows where either hitch needs to be lubricated with lithium grease like part # L11354. We recommend the pin get lubricated every time it touches other metal
