That's the bit on the opposite side from the green lock?

Does that mean clamp the face of the bar when the lock is twisted and it's as far in as I can get it? Andrew

Andrew - sorry if you have not taken it apart then DON'T!
Spray a load of WD40 up into the receiver, and then give it a good shove would be my advise!
dealmaker - if you lay down and look under, you can push the pin back in from the other side to release the attachement if you have it unlocked. Also you can remove the plastic lever if you look (like when you change the lock) to get some mole grips on there if you need to! If its not the lock bit but the getting it out bit then try a little wiggle side to side...

Still struggling here:
Twisting the green handle doesn't pull the main pin back far enough for it to allow the towbar to fit. Yes, I have tried a hammer.
The metal plate (opposite the green handle) seems to have an integral "stopper" for the gears and removing this allows the pin to move further back, but still not enough.
1. How far back should the pin have to go to allow the towbar to locate? Should it be flush?
2. If it needs "adjustment" how do I disassemble it, and what do I adjust? Any Top Tips? Exactly where will things ping out?
3. Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance Andrew

The green pin pulls out before it twists. Sorry if stating the obvious. Are you seeing a green or a red marker when you move the pin ??? "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."
