If the spring bar locking devices on your Eaz-Lift ReCurve R6 weight distribution hitch are worn, broken, or missing, this OEM-replacement repair kit gets you back to safe, automatic locking performance. One kit covers both sides of the hitch head -- no sourcing individual hardware separately.
The Eaz-Lift ReCurve R6 weight distribution hitch uses a built-in automatic locking mechanism to capture and secure the spring bars inside the ball mount socket. This eliminates the traditional cam-lock or chain procedure and is one of the R6's defining features. When the pin, retainer, or screw in that mechanism wears or fails, the spring bars can disengage from the head -- a serious towing safety concern.
Camco part number 48748 (vendor part 10-6421) is the correct replacement hardware kit for the R6 locking device. It supplies the complete fastener set for both locking positions so you restore full function in one repair session.
Kit includes hardware for the left and right locking devices -- one purchase, one repair session, both positions restored.
Pins, retainers, and screws are matched to the original R6 locking device geometry and fastener spec for proper fit and function.
Brings back the R6's hands-free spring bar capture feature -- no cams, chains, or brackets required after repair.
Designed for owner-level replacement at the campsite or driveway. Standard hand tools are all that is needed.
The Eaz-Lift ReCurve R6 hitch uses a spring-loaded pin-and-retainer assembly recessed in the ball mount head. When a spring bar is inserted and rotated into position, the pin automatically drops into a groove on the bar, holding it captive until manually released. This is the "ReCurve" automatic retention system. The 48748 kit replaces the consumable hardware components of that assembly -- the pin that engages the bar, the retainer that houses the pin, and the screw that secures the retainer in the head casting.
The kit provides complete replacement hardware for both the driver-side and passenger-side spring bar locking positions on a single R6 hitch head.
This kit is designed specifically for the Eaz-Lift ReCurve R6 weight distribution hitch. It is NOT compatible with earlier ReCurve models (R3, R4), the Eaz-Lift 1000 series, or other Camco/Eaz-Lift hitch families that use a different locking or retention design. Verify your hitch model before ordering. The model designation is typically stamped or labeled on the ball mount head casting.
While servicing your hitch locking devices, consider also inspecting the spring bar sockets for wear and verifying the ball mount fastener torque. Camco and Eaz-Lift offer additional R6 replacement components -- friction pads, sway control hardware, and ball mount parts -- to support a complete hitch service at one time.
