The bolt screws in easy enough when attaching the JC but man it is so hard to screw out using a spanner. Crazily if I dont use the locking bolt and just use...

First question from me, and it's an absolute newbie question! If you stop just for one night, is it necessary to disengage the van from the car and balance up?
