Round Weight Distribution Bar Will Not Release from Head
Question:
Having trouble removing round spring bar from hitch, as you well know, they should rotate forward until they fall out but they are not doing that. I have tried pulling on the spring clip while rotating but no matter what I do I cannot get it out. I was able to get one out but not the other one.

It sounds like that one bar is bound up a little. You may need to sort of lift it up and down to get it unstuck. Or you may need to take the little clip off and pull out the pin that keeps the bar in the head. Who is the manufacturer of the system you have? I can check to see if there are any known issues and remedies for this particular issue.
