B&W tools?

I found a free B&W turnover hitch. Can anyone tell me what sized wrenches/sockets I will need to take it off/on a truck?

lucky you

I can't help with the tools, but I thought I should tell you that I wish I would come across that kind of deal BAD!

Come to think of it, go to their website and also look for the hitches on ebay. I've seen install instructions in downloadable manuals with parts and tools lists. That may help if somebody doesn't chime in with answers before you need to get it done.

Looks like it uses 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch hardware. Should be 9/16 and 1/2 inch wrenches.

Its been a while since I installed mine. If I remember correctly, all the your wrenches and sockets will be under 1". Will need a torque wrench and some extension (2"-6" long) should work. I also used blue 242 loc-tite on the all the bolts and nuts.

Download the Installation Instructions for your model year from B&W:

I believe that would be 9/16 and 3/4 inch wrenches

I think there is a hardware list on most of them so you can figure out what size wrenches you need.

I Believe all the mount bolts are 3/4(wrench size) and the 2 safety chain loops are 9/16
