5th Wheel Reese Hitch Cleanup

[Craig and Linda]

My hitch is so greased up and black with dirt I think I should clean it up.
Any suggestions?

Do you use the nylon disc instead of grease?

Ps when greasing the bushings dont over grease the nipples as the grease will just ooze out everywhere

Most any auto parts store will have a spray-on engine degreaser. Use that and hose it down after (instructions will be on the label). Then lightly re-grease the pivot points, latch, etc. Consider using a lube pad for the flat hitch surface instead of grease. Or one of the graphite-inpregnated pads. If you use grease, spray on a light coat of a lithium-base grease. You will need to clean that off periodically and replace (preferably every trip).
