Default Trailer hitch lock is stuck

You already did the oil and hammer method. Try to hammer harder!!!!
It's junk anyhow.....

If that dont work, use an angle grinder and cut it off. Thats a no
brainer....

Of course you'll have to buy a new one, but it dont have to be the
locking type unless you live in a real high crime area. The non-lock
type are about $5.

I bought an old used pickup truck a few months ago that has a trailer hitch
with a lock on it. I have the keys to the lock, but I can't get the lock to
open so I can remove the towbar/ball (or whatever that is called).
