Default Removing broken hitch ball?

If you have access, try drilling up through the nut on both sides parallel
to the screw, with some tape on the bit to mark where to stop short of the
bumper. Drills remove metal faster than cutoff wheels and you could pound a
tapered punch into the hole to split the nut.


Ooooo! I *like* that! Thanks Jim!
