Default please suggest a way to remove this plastic from hitch.

what is currently attached to the hitch receiver a shin protector?

it has three sensors an is electrically connected w/ two wires. I think its a backup camera for the head unit.

I have been able to remove the sensor however the plastic insert is jambedup/rust dam near stuck inside there isn't anything holding it in but itself been hammering pry bars/ spraying w/ JB Blaster vice grip welded to slide hammer pullers cant get it to budge.

please suggest a way to remove this plastic from hitch.
thanks TB

Hole saw through the middle so the sides can flex in while you pry it out.

Or use a sawzal to cut it flush, then stick the blade inside and start cutting in the middle of each side to break it apart.

I don't have a sawzal anymore since MacKeda boned me on there rechargeable batteries this a brand new sawzal and 4 other power tools less than a year old, I'll never buy Mackeda again.

I will start cutting plastic w/ what I have a hack saw blade and towel for handle.

good suggestion on cutting this thing out.

now w/ the spare tire out of the way I inserted the reciever inside the hitch from inside out and have been beaten on it w/ a regular hammer, to bad the mexican lawn people came to my area, now I have zero tools in my unlocked shed, where I usalley keep my BFH , I have the greasie taco eaters on surveillance footage entering my shed.

trying to beat this thing out.
