Reese Slider Hitch Maintenance...

Another quick question for you guys.....

I have a Reese 16K hitch and the Reese square rail slider. The last time I moved went to slide it from tow to maneuver, it was very hard to throw the lever and it was squeaking and groaning something awful while moving. So is there a lubricant spray or something I should put on the rails and locking mechanism?

I will spray ours (all moving parts) every once in awhile with a silicone spray, but that's about all I do with it. I also grease the jaws and the large pin that connects the head to the base.

Use the same stuff you put on the slide rails. I use CRC white Lithium Grease spray. Silicon spray should also work.

I have the exact same hitch. Here are the installation and maintenance manuals. They explain what to use for lube and where/what to lube.
