What tension do I need to torque the tow bar ball attachment bolt when installing it?
I can't find any info in the owner's manual.
Thanks.

Very Tight, i use a pair of stillsons to hold the ball and then use a 3/4 drive ratchet with socket to tighten the nut, i usually throw a piece of pipe on the ratchet. A loose ball is something i try to avoid.
Ensure your ball has a spring/split washer.

How tight should the bar securing bolt (the one with the pin through it) be done up?2019 GXL, Bullbar, UHF, Redarc Brake Controller, Tow Bar, Secondary Fuel FilterComment

So it doesn't come off. The bolt is there to hold in the receiver. Sheer force is in action so it needs to be strong in this regard not done up toooooo tight. Remember that other receivers are held in only by a pin!!Dirttracker, (Martin)
