Re: Waterproof lock
I recently had the same problem. I decided to lower the spare
and put some air in it and see if anything needed to be lubed.
I couldn't get the lock unlocked so had to use bolt cutters to get
it off. I replaced it with a Masterlock weather proof lock with
the plastic enclosure. Before doing so I put some antiseize around
any areas that may get rusty. I then taped it up with some
electrical tape to be on the safe side and tucked the lock up around
the cable so that it isn't just hanging in the breeze. I think
the best thing to do is unlock it each spring and take a wire brush
to any areas that look like they have rust forming. Also spraying
some penetrating lube would be a good idea.
