Do the Locking Jaws On the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Need Greased
Question:
Should I be greasing the jaws on this hitch? If so can you recommend a good product
asked by: Andrew
Expert Reply:
I have attached for you below the maintenance schedule of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16521 which does indeed entail greasing of the locking jaw mechanism, the pivot points in particular. The Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease part # L11380 for the tub or part # L11465 for the tube will work well for this. If you don't already have a grease gun, the LubriMatic Standard Pistol Grip Grease Gun part # L30-310 is what I recommend.
