Have you got a blow torch? also spray loads of wd40 on it for the next couple of days so it can work into the gaps and hopefully loosen it up.

Small blow torch yes, Not sure how much heat it will give out, but its the best ive got so I'll give it a go.

I have a similar challenge, brought the RR last week and this is the towbar I was handed.

I have no keys for r so have managed to get new neck bit off flebay with keys and hopefully can drill out the old lock and separate these so i can use the attachment then I need to find the correct bolt to hold the thing into the square fitting.

There is a good video on U tube about how to take one apart without the keys. no drilling needed just a hammer and a punch, to get the lock mechanism out. 2013 Vogue 4.4 TDV8

thanks will do a you tube search.

Big hammer won the day. Amazing how easy it came out with the correct tool.
Now to source a new RR spec drop plate.
Did I image it or was someone after the old dust cover from the top of the detachable part. 2013 Vogue 4.4 TDV8
