What Size Wrench is Needed for a 2" Hitch Ball with 1 Inch Diameter Shank

Question:

The nut size is 1.5inch yet the info states Requires socket size: 1-7/8. Should I not need a 1.5inch socket as 1 7/8inch is too large? Thanks

You will need a 1-1/2" wrench like part # C20001 in order to install the nut on the 2" Hitch Ball part # 63845. A 1-7/8" wrench would be much too large.
