I have a Master Tow Dolly and a Hyundai Sonata and am having some difficulty and could use a bit of help. My Sonata was too low to the ground to load onto the tow dolly... I saw that Master Tow had extension for the ramp but I bought a couple of plastic ramps, used for leveling, and they work pretty good. So now I can get the car onto the dolly and tighten it down fairly easily. Now my problem is loosening it to get it off of the dolly. The Ratchet is too long and I can't get it vertical to loosen it. I can loosen it a bit by using a screwdriver to release the catch but it still isn't loose enough to move the ratchet to vertical, so I have to try to hold down the catch with a screwdriver and use pliers to rotate the ratchet enough to get it undone. Very time consuming and frustrating. I thought about getting a ratchet that works by using a socket on the side but I can't figure out how to secure it to the dolly and still have it able to slide from side to side. Hopefully I've attached pictures of my existing ratchet. The ratchet connects to the dolly using a bolt through the slide where the side ratchet permanently connects to the dolly.

Any help or suggestions would he apprciated.
