I said nothing of bending anything. For someone to junk a perfectly good hitch because it doesnโt satisfy your perception of how you think it should be, makes my point. The only reason for the shim is customer perception.

Bending the sides of the ball mount till they meet the shank, or crack, is not something that I would do. If you have that much play that it would rattle, shim it or junk it.

Get the biggest breaker bar you can find for the socket that fits the bolt. Then get a 4 foot length of cheater pipe to go over the breaker bar. Then have your biggest/strongest friend lean on it until he can't lean no more. But my last reading was like 300-400 ft/lbs.
Or you can take it some place where they actually use a torque wrench.
