I’m trying to remove a 20,000 pound Reese elite puck hitch from my 2019 Ram 3500. Got sold on the puck because of the ease of removal for a rail free bed. Uh Huh. Ain’t happening.
I removed the pins so I could turn the release levers. That in itself was interesting as I had to use a hammer as a slight persuader due to the tightness of the levers.
Once loosen the hitch would not budge. My concern is that after installing the hitch I had a spray on bed liner installed. Is it possible that the increased thickness is causing the problem?
If so, how do I correct it?
Thx
