A few months back I got a flat,well needless to say I couldn't get the unlock button too unlock so I could get the spare tire so I sprayed it down with PB blaster and after about a hr. it loosed up enough I could turn it with my key,so that day after I got it off I cleaned it real good and brushed it down with anti:mad:-seize thinking it would help,,well today I got another flat and it was a pain in the @ss again to unlock I PB it again and tapped on it with a hammer to loosen it,,,,anybody deal with this before I would hate to be out in BFE and have a flat with the trouble I have had with this unlock button

I know mine is coroded/froze up as well. I will try to free it up with what you mentioned. I know others who have had theirs do the same and they just left it in the unlock after fixing it.

Interested to hear what others may say.

Spray PB Blaster on it, every day. For a week. Or two. It will come off. That's a guarantee for any bolt, seen it take off 50 year old grain bin bolts.
