Lubricating a Locking Hitch Pin
Question:
I purchased this anti rattle device from you a few years back. It works excellent, however, the rubber cap is long gone and I am starting to have problems with the lock sticking. I have tried grease, oil, silicone spray, wd 40, liq wrench, etc to keep it lubed. Can you tell me what the proper lube is for this device? I checked reese website with no luck.

Expert Reply:
For lubricating any lock, a dry lubricant like powdered graphite is recommended.
Using grease and oil or spray lubricants like WD 40 can actually attract dirt and grime and make the lock cylinder sticky after a time.
