American police also carry coke to clear blood up off the road apparently.

Apparently in the USA, the coca cola company condition their truck engines with the product they sell to drink!! Hmmm, is it a wonder that it rots teeth?!

You havn't been greasing your balls. Use WD to shift some rust, but you must give it as good going over with wire wool. Then Grease liberally with the regular autogrease you put on your trailers bearings and other moving bit. Buying a new couple is a waste of money, as is not looking after it by not greasing.

Have you tried soking it in Coca Cola? No jokes!! Thats the way my great uncles un seize tractor engines  . You may need to let it soak i.e. cover it with coke for a length of time.

But it comes in a squirty can so whilst it looses points on usefullness, it gains them on ammusing stunt compatability

indespension is a chain of trailer makers and parts sellers, cheap but quality products. we bought all of the stuff my bro needed for his GCSE tech project there and it was all very reasonable.(he built a trailer to carry a 185cc go cart)

depending on where you are...use the yellow pages or..

www.towsure.co.uk

If you are near Cambridge there are q few I could recommend but if not then use the above. Most of them are generic just make sure you get the right size hitch for the ball you have on your motor.
