best way is to undo the bolt which holds the 2 pieces and then you're left with a 2'' square hole..... ... - .- -.

If it's the detachable towbar then you're best keeping it in the boot when not in use. Mine came with a broken key in the lock so I just removed it myself using rudimentary tools in not very long at all. Shame I can't get a replacement lock ...

I have a similar issue with the key snapped off in the towbar lock. I removed the bolt (green arrow) and applied moderate force to try and extract the towbar assembly from the square receiver as Stan mentioned.

i took mine off this way..plenty of wd40 and bang with hammer.. ... - .- -.

I've read on here the WD40/Penetrating fluid and hammer technique works or,

Low range, 1st, tied with some strong material to a substantial tree, with the mrs or such like at the helm while you tap it with a hammer it should just drop out as the car goes forward, or bounce back toward the tree a little  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

When you put the receiver into the square hole give the square hole and the receiver a thick coating of grease before inserting.
It doesn't stick then.
Doesn't help getting a stuck one out though.

Thanks all, looks like I need a bigger Sheffield screwdriver!

Theres a blanking plug for the square hole when you remove the tow bar, so it looks nice and tidy 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded
