<VV> Spare tire lock

[J R Read_HML]

Chuck,

I just tried that and you are SO right.  Just a bit of side force (well 
downward or upward on the lock actually) and the special stud nut screws 
right off.  Have you tried any type of lubricant in the pin and grove area 
to keep that from happening?

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
