Having just changed my towball (which was seized solid into the receiver) the new receiver I've bought has the red bung in it. I've tried to get it out but it won't budge! I haven't applied too much force to it just in case it breaks off but how does the thing come out?

Pull downwards.

No special technique.

Hardish on both tabs at the same time. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
