If you buy yourself a new lock the instructions will become clear.
Other than that it’s to risky to tell.

Sorry to hear your bad news, I had mine stuck on but only on for a few months, so regular WD40 and a big mallet eventually did the trick Thumbs Up

I now never keep mine on, it's always taken off once used

Thanks, but as a site member for over 6 years I thought someone might believe I’m genuine!!

I just wanted a pm telling me how to do it, certainly never asked anyone to publish it!

can't help as don't have the towbar to try it on but current climate regarding thefts is making people very cautious.

Persevere with squirting WD 40 into the lock, it freed mine off after a few days (on a fixed towbar that had been fitted for a couple of years) Thumbs Up
