What you are describing sounds like a sluggish cylinder. I used light machine oil on mine and yes, it does help.


HOWEVER....
The fix we describe here is for when the secondary lock mechanism freezes up, this is not in the cylinder, it's in the arm that the wheel lock plunger is.
When it freezes up, you'll know it! Fix it now, or risk drilling out the damn pin later...

Our fix should be called the "STUCK Key Fix".
