Trailer hitch lock is stuck
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). Here's a link to an online image of a lock that looks like the one I have: http://www.pacifictrailers.com/index...4,s :0,i:110/ Hopefully, the link will work. The lock has a press-type button on the end. The key goes in, and everything seems to turn freely, etc. But I can't get the lock to come off so I can pull the bar out and remove the towbar/ball. I have used oil etc. to get everything loose, and I have tried tapping on the mechanism. It just won't come apart. If I can't figure it out, I guess I'll have to cut the lock off. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I could try? |
