Try using an extension on the wrench for greater torque if it is too tight.
Tweaked? That looks like a shoddy attempt to "rig". I could have done better than that. Who the hell uses a threaded bolt as a hitch pin?

You got these assholes that like to take advantage of women. My mom's about as mechanical as Bozo the Clown and I watched this for years. Same old stuff. Little lady wants something let's just cut corners and use a chessy threaded bolt to save $3. That kind of shit gets me irate.

If I lived in Lexington, me n somebody'd be having words and I bet you I'd get a hitch pin for free before I got done. I hate predators,
