That usually does it.
It also helps if you grease the pin every coupla weeks, too. |
This is all I've ever had to do with a 5th wheel pin^
Now trailer axle pins can be a *****, sometimes the handles are bent and it becomes a two person operation, just be very careful. I carry a rubber chock with me and also a spray can of silicone lubricant. If I have trouble sliding the axles I first spray the lube on the top of the rails wherever I can, then slide the axles all the way back, spray again, slide forward, spray again.
Then I have no problems.
