Replacement Key Needed for a Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount
Question:
i recently purchased a used truck and it came with a flash e-series hitch. my problem is the previous owner didnt include the tube key to adjust or flip the ball and I have no key number to order a replacement. I can remove the hitch from the truck but its way nicer than what ive been using. So my question is how can I remove and replace this lock or is this hitch useless now?

Expert Reply:
If you don't know the key number for the current lock on your Flash E Series Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # FA42-00-2600 and the previous owner doesn't know the number, you can still use the ball mount but you will need to get the current lock cut off.
Once it is removed you can use the Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # FA86-00-3660 to lock the ball platform AND the ball mount to deter theft.
