Can anyone that uses the above wheel lock have "issues" with the wheel lock when removing.On mine I have to wiggle to bottom out the key,and then I have found I have to turn the key quite slowly to the right to release the locking mechanism.This is possibly allowing the three ball bearings in the lock to line up with the holes.

It is just the first time I had to remove it,it took me ages thinking it was stuck onto the security wheel stud.

I will contact Milenco,to see what they say,but I have already disposed of the over elaborate plastic blown case!

Try a ptfe spray, silicon, not WD40 or other oil spray. You need something dry. Foliac [carbon powder] is best if you have any. Any wet lubricant eventually attracts dirt and dust and guns up.

I have just bought a Wraith and have major problems getting the lock off as well. Did you manage to get your money back from Milenco or the dealer?
