...
false
Restore your Demco EZ-Latch coupler to like-new operation with the genuine Demco 6008 repair kit. The composite handle is the part that cracks, wears, or breaks on 2-5/16" ball Demco couplers — and replacing the whole coupler is almost never necessary. This kit gives you everything to rebuild the latch in about 10 minutes with basic hand tools.

🛠️ Installation
Drive out the existing pins with a 5/32" punch, lift out the old handle and spring, drop in the new components, and reinstall the pins. Typical job time is under 15 minutes with a punch, hammer, and 5/32" hex wrench. Full step-by-step videos for this repair are widely available online.
⚠️ Verify Ball Size Before Ordering
This kit fits 2-5/16" Demco couplers only. If your coupler is stamped 2", you need part 6109 instead. The ball size is marked on top of the coupler near the latch. Installing the wrong kit will not seat properly and could cause the latch to fail under load — always verify before installing. Not sure which one you need? Call us with your coupler in hand.
