Is the Lock Mechanism on the Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Replaceable or Permanent
Question:
Does this use a standard cam lock with removable cam? Is it possible to see the inside section where the lock is attached please? That all brass tubular joke would only stop the laziest of thieves. They manufactures go through all this trouble to come out with the latest and greatest patented locking systems then put the cheapest cam lock they can find held in with a spring clip and the cam riveted on.

Expert Reply:
The Rack-em Manufacturing Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25, uses a replaceable tubular lock mechanism. We offer the replacement lock assembly as part # RA25LOCK, which comes with two tubular keys.
The replacement procedure is simple enough: two spring-loaded dowels (one on each side) are pressed inward to unlock the internal housing which then slides out to reveal the access point for removing the original lock. This internal assembly fits snugly so a screwdriver will help to loosen it.
This will reveal the back of the cam lock mechanism; a socket will best serve the purpose of removing the original lock.
