Any of those, applied liberally, left for 24 hours etc will help. But you will likely still require a hammer. Something I did when I got mine (I changed from removable to farmer's hitch so I had to get the receiver out).
1. Acquire a good strong rope.
2. Find a good strong anchor point.
3. Tie rope to anchor point and towball.
4. Low range 1st, get lots of tension into the rope. Apply handbrake and PARK.
5. from underneath, ensuring you are not in the firing line, heavy lump hammer or a dead-blow hammer, hit the bar from behind.
That's how I got mine out. But, I can't over-stress the point about keeping EVERYTHING out of the way for when it does let go. Pets locked in the house, kids, etc etc. Mine made a large dent in a 60ft holly tree. If it had hit me I would be dead, no question.[/b]
Got it out using the aforementioned WD40 followed by this method. All done on my lunch break with no injuries
