1.25" Trailor Hitch wont come out of reciever. I've tried WD40 with the hammer. What do ya think? Log chain and Oak tree? Or, is there an easier way? Also, I don't have oxy torch, just a little propane.

I used the log chain method on my Mercedes that got stuck. Just be careful with a rug over the chain for dampening just in case.
I had the same problem with my Grand Cherokee, I used the strap and tree method to not scrape bark off the tree and gouge it up. When I got it out I took a grinder to the insert, in order to not have the problem again...it worked!! BTW, use 4-lo, it's a lot easier to control!!

PB BlasterNext out comes the old blue wrench.
Heat is a catalyst to rust so a handheld torch with Map gas should work fine.
But then again have a camera ready should you decide to use the brute force way.
