Dixon Bate NATO Hitch: Strip Down and Re-build

A loose demonstration on how to strip down and re-build and re-grease a Dixon Bate NATO military hitch. These hitches accept the larger NATO style towing rings commonly found on Sankey trailers - perfect for towing behind Land Rovers!

I’ve got as far as removed the 2 circlips on the jaws but no matter how hard I hit a drift into them they won’t come out!?

Viking Roo hi, I’ve just today got round to trying to free off my claw. Finally managed to get the large pins out. You will need a heavy duty hammer and a drift and lots and lots of penetrating oil and patients. I also got the blow torch out and het up the pin area, be careful not to go too near the back section as there are seals in there you don’t wanna damage. Knock the pin both ways with the hammer to start freeing it up. You will get there. Took me 4 hours today. Now I need to source new pins are I wrecked them getting them out. 👍
