Default Help Sought on Cobra Trailer Lock

Hi, Tom,

Well, no joy. I removed the inside nut and washer from the handle
(there was Lok-Tite on the threads), but I couldn't remove the handle
itself. I tried using a drift pin on the handle shaft, but it seemed
very solid. I'm guessing that the two rivets holding the handle onto
the rear of the trailer have to be removed before the handle can be
removed, but I wasn't up to that yesterday.

5Z, that's very helpful - thanks! Just one more thing - do you
remember if the handle was removed simply by unscrewing the inside
nut, or whether rivets on the handle's outside silver mounting had to
be removed?


I think it was just a matter of removing the nut on the back. But it
was a long time ago. Until you mentioned the nut on the back, I
wasn't sure I could help, but that stimulated the recollection.
