I pulled my hitch out to do annual maintenance (missed last year) Dennis..mail2us...thanks for the heads up and reminder...
The manual calls to clean the way tubes with wd40 or brake fluid, file rough spots and lightly sand to roughen up so the slipplate lube will adhere better.
After doing above, I have small sections of the way tube that is down to the bare metal but most of the rails are still covered with SlipPlate (black spray on graphite).
Does anyone have experience with this? Should I just apply new slipplate to the entire way rail or should I try to remove all of the old graphite 1st.
Here is a photo of what the rail looks like:
Thanks!
