I'm sure I'm not the first one to do this. I have an adjustable solid aluminum ball mount in the receiver on my '06 Dodge Ram. Since I use it frequently, I am not accustomed to removing it. Consequently the 5/8" pin that holds it in the receiver has corroded itself to the aluminum. Penetrating oil and hammer haven't brought success, and I'm eventually going to mushroom the end of the pin so it will never come out. My next step is heating the pin, but wondered if anyone had any better ideas? Thanks.
