I've gotten my fat ### under an RGN before. Just use your gooseneck board and a high curb to raise one side of the trailer. If you're determined it *can* be done.
edit: put the board on the curb, you'll get at least 10" more clearance under the trailer.

It's only brass.......and looks very rusty to say the least. Trouble with brass and extractors is they spread the material and the brass is soft, so it wont extract. Drill it out, tap it and a new plug to get you home. 8 inches should be enough to get er' done with the right tools. At least that what she says anyhow........

I remember a guy driving a BIC pen into something just like that and made it home...
@Ericanderson8452 , there isn't any way you can get under there to do something? Drive it up on blocks? How did you take that picture? -
I have removed broken off brass fittings before on the road side by driving a flat blade screw driver in the brass fittings and then put a crescent wrench on the remaining screw driver blade sticking out and then spin it out.
Brass and steel usually play nine together and don’t seize to bad.booley, daf105paccar and uncleal13 Thank this. -
Doesn't your trailer have a manual suspension control valve? Mine can manually raise about 8- 10 inches past the preset ride height.
