How do you easily get a bolt into a rusted thread?

All vehicles can accept a hitch.If none are available in your area have one custom made at a hitch or welding shop.

Any local bike store can help you. You can also try buying one off the internet, ebay or amazon are your best choices. Make sure you get the right one that connects properly to the back of your bike.

the 'female' attachment bracket seems to be either a 1.5" or 2" standard receiver hitch. which you can have installed at most auto or trailer rental shops, such as UHaul... note that you will need the adapter that came with your bike rack to use the 2" receiver hitch

perhaps. It is always best to check with the manufacturer of the bike rack you will be using. Some manufacturers do not recommend the use of their racks with class 1 hitches. Those that have bike racks to work with class 1 hitches typically have very specific weights, specifications, and may even limit the number of bikes allowable. Just remember, when calculating the weight of your load don't forget to add in the weight of the bike rack itself. B&W Trailer hitches are great for this job.

Web search it.

"bike rack that attaches to the tow hitch "

The hitch part that fastens to your bike rear axle has 3 pieces, a dimpled washer which goes on first then the hitch plate and a pin that holds the trailer to the hitch. Take off the axle nut (15 mm wrench) install the dimpled washer it goes on with the 90 deg tang facing the bike wheel and in the channel so it can't rotate. Then put the hitch plate on, mine faced down for the correct height, line up the dimpled washer with the bumps on the hitch plate to locate it properly. reinstall the wheel nut and be sure to align the wheel so it runs straight and true (I oopsed on this the first time) then attach the trailer, it is a 90 deg hook-up then you simply put the the pin in and you are good to go. The unique hook-up makes it so smooth and dampened that you don't even know it's behind you. We really love ours!

Tap with a hammer - a little WD-40 or Liquid Wrench - tap some more.

Good luck with this "sticky" problem.
