Allen Stainless Steel Locking Hitch Pin for Allen Hitch Mount Bike Racks (2 Inch Receiver) – Reviews

Bought this allen locking hitch pin to go along with the allen bike rack. Was suppost to be an anti-wobble locking pin, but did not keep it from wobbleing. The bike rack still moved and moved back and forth and mangled the latch for our pop-up camper and was unable to get the tongue of camper off ball on truck. Only made it out of my driveway for that to happen. Nightmare…Bike rack garbage along with locking hitch pin.Returned all products. And then $400.00 later to get pop-up camper fixed since could not be towed, had to have a service call come to us.

Like 2 other reviewers here, the included nut seized up on the pin the very first time I installed it. Couldn’t figure out a way to get it off & eventually I had a mechanic friend dremel it off. He even broke his dremel cutting disc. What a mess

Even though I hand tightened the nut on to the bolt it seized up on me when I tightened it with a wrench and then the head of the bolt snapped off. Cheap Chinese steel is what I assume was the problem. I’m looking for an American or European made lock. Any suggestions?

This product is so simple, what could go wrong?

Well, like another reviewer here, the included nut seized up on the pin the very first time I installed it, and as a result, there is no way to get the bike rack off of my vehicle. And I can’t figure a way to cut it off because the design of the bike rack and my car’s hitch leaves no way to get a hacksaw in or maneuver it. So this product has already cost me hours of grief and inconvenience — and I STILL can’t figure out how to get it off.

The manufacturer is supposed to be sending me a new pin, but that won’t do me any good until I figure out how to get this one off — and I’m out of ideas. I’m hoping I can get one of the ends to snap off but haven’t been successful so far.

If you buy this product, do NOT use the locknut with the plastic insert which is provided. Go to the hardware store and buy a regular old nut (which can be easily removed) and use that. So long as you’re using the locking shaft behind the nut, there’s no wa
