Default Spare tire lock
Anyone have an easy way to get the key hole unstuck? I've had the truck for about 2 months ( bought used ) but I don't think the key was ever used to unlock it. Appreciate the help

Crawl under and look at it. There is a e clip that holds on a u shaped metal plate
Remove the e clip and then the plate and the rest should just slide out of the bumper.

They are usually rusted/gummed up on the side where the clip is and keeps the key from turning.
You can spray the back side with lubricant and see if it helps.

Which also demonstrates how useless these locks are...
