As my new-to-me LR4 has a hitch fitted, I'm planning on selling the one that came with my older LR4.
I'd never used it, as I sold my tin tent a few years ago, so thought I'd better make sure it works OK. It fits and latches into place as it should, but the key will just not come out of the lock.
A bit more research and the lock is coded D25 but the key is D52 - some dyslexic ordering there maybe?
Anyway, I've left it to sit overnight with a good old spray of WD40 and will have a go again tomorrow. Any advice (other than the fallback to replace the lock mechanism?). Cheers!
Looking forward to a road trip in the new girl to Arizona next month

Lots of lube and wriggling will get it out eventually, if it is the wrong key then the cuts will have moved the wafers to places they haven't been before so not surprising they have stuck, especially if you don't use the key very often.

If you can a get hold of it with a pair of crocodile nose pliers (long nose grips to those across the pond ) and wiggle it using those it helps enormously.
Good luck!I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Hi,
remove the plastic handle & lock so you can at least remove the bar, then work on the key in the lock on the bench rather than on the car.
no time limit and easier to work on then?
