I've got a problem and could use some suggestions. It has been getting difficult to turn the key and open my gas tank to gas up. It was pretty bad looking as well so I ordered a nice chrome replacement that doesn't use a key.
I tried to change the whole thing when I got home from work but it won't come out unless the screws are removed AND the cap is opened. The screws are no problem, the key though goes right in smooth yet won't budge a single bit.
What if this happened while I was riding and needed gas!
I've already tried various penetrating oils and soaking it. I've also already taken a hammer :spank: to the whole thing to try and jar it loose.
Any ideas? Drill out the whole lock/tumbler area?
