What happens here

After removing the unsuitable hitch, select a 2-inch ball hitch with a bolt that fits the ATV's hitch point without excessive leverage. Apply blue threadlocker to the bolt for added security, then thread it through the ATV's hitch point and tighten it snugly with a wrench. This smaller, direct ball hitch will reduce stress on the ATV's axle.

Goal: Securely attach a proper 2-inch ball hitch to the ATV to prevent axle stress.
