Thanks. I got the black tube off but I can't get my arm in there to pry out the lock. Any tricks?

I couldn't get my arms in there either. I lowered the tire by using a socket that just fit over the key and long extension. I jammed the socket against the key by pushing the extension real hard to the side while turning it with a ratchet. It would only move a little at a time, But good enough to get the tire down, then just pry the key out. Somebody else sugested using a stripped nut removing socket, that's gotta work better.
Good luck!
