Dropping my tow ball down a notch

[Jesstickle]

So there is a slider on the towbar of the car I tow with and currently the tow ball is bolted to the top setting of it. Ideally I reckon it needs dropping down to the bottom as trailer is a little nose high when loaded.

It's only a case of undoing two bolts, moving it, and doing them back up but obviously there is a lot of weight resting on said bolts so do I get OH to do it or do I get someone else involved? If it's a job for someone else who do I go to? Just a regular mechanic or do I need a specialist?

I've eaten all the lunch I'm afraid so nothing to offer

No need for a specialist

I suggest both you and OH do it together - 2 brains are better that one - unless you argue over eveything

the actual weight distribution should hardly change but if it rides better then do it

The nust and bolts should have serated washers on them (stops them coming undone). Do not reuse these, get new ones.
Other than that it's a simple job.

I can just imagine the conversation you have with your OH ....

Darling, I need your help to drop a ball ..... and then when it's dropped we can get hitched ....
