Land Rover Discovery 3/4 Detachable Tow Hitch Removal Tool

Land Rover Discovery 3/4 Detachable Tow Hitch Removal Tool

This is a custom machined tool to help remove a stuck tow bar hitch for the Land Rover Discovery 3/4.

This is a must-have tool for any Land Rover garage or enthusiast.

The removable tow hitch can become stuck or difficult to remove and it is difficult to apply enough force using the plastic turn handle.

This tool can be fitted in place of the pinion and has a 22mm hex head to allow you to get a socket ( or wheel nut wrench ) on it and apply controlled force to retract the stuck locking pin.

• Step 1 – Drift out the roll pin that holds the green handle onto the shaft
• Step 2 – Pull the green handle off the end of the shaft
• Step 3 – Undo the two Allen head bolts in the middle of the cog disc
• Step 4 – Pull the shaft out of the tow bar
• Step 5 – Insert the new tool and turn it anticlockwise with a 22mm socket ( or wheel nut wrench ) to release the towbar

Once you’ve removed your tow hitch you could consider one of our overhaul kits (TOW381 or TOW532).

We also sell replacement red ratchet cogs (large type) if you require one of these – see part TOW608.

These are not genuine Land Rover parts.
