    Problem with detachable towing hook

    My explanation was a little poor, the hammer I used was a little 1lb tap hammer. However the point has been taken on board not to use it again. On the positive side, the bar dropped out without any issues. I will buy some copper ease to see if this helps the insertion going forward.

    Milenco Wraith wheel lock question
