Re: Quick Release Hub Lock (rhd_dc2)
yes. me.
i am currently searching for a better alternative to nrg's quick release hub lock. the ball bearing design is not at all effective, and i caution everyone that has one and may use it as a layer of defense. by no means, should this be used as your only line of defense. removal is as simple as inserting a nail with a hammer, to create space along the groove of the rotating assembly, then insert another nail to eliminate the grasping force of the ball bearing inside. they will then use vice grips to drive the vehicle. i will demonstrate by using the impressions that were left on the lock when my car was recovered.
the ball bearing is located behind the cylinder. thieves will insert this nail to push the ball bearing away.
the ball bearing, in relation to where the second nail was placed. this is all that is holding your lock on.
