Trailer hitch lock is stuck

I bought an old used pickup truck a few months ago that has a trailer hitch
with a lock on it. I have the keys to the lock, but I can't get the lock to
open so I can remove the towbar/ball (or whatever that is called).
Here's a link to an online image of a lock that looks like the one I have:
http://www.pacifictrailers.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.prodInfo&prodId=48724&docid=2kcfXgbZ4HoiuM&imgurl=http://imageserv3.team-logic.com/store-logic/products/159/48724/651.jpg&w=480&h=293&ei=8jiwT8zgKsOJ6AHs_ui1CQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=93&vpy=392&dur=13500&hovh=175&hovw=287&tx=40&ty=197&sig=114592502974803465707&page=1&tbnh=95&tbnw=156&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0,i:110/
Hopefully, the link will work.
The lock has a press-type button on the end. The key goes in, and
everything seems to turn freely, etc. But I can't get the lock to come off
so I can pull the bar out and remove the towbar/ball.
I have used oil etc. to get everything loose, and I have tried tapping on
the mechanism. It just won't come apart. If I can't figure it out, I guess
I'll have to cut the lock off.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I could try?

You already did the oil and hammer method. Try to hammer harder!!!!
It's junk anyhow.....
If that dont work, use an angle grinder and cut it off. Thats a no
brainer....
Of course you'll have to buy a new one, but it dont have to be the
locking type unless you live in a real high crime area. The non-lock
type are about $5.

unless they are going to steel the whole trailer - in which case you
need to lock the coupler too.

wrench or something else to get the needed leverage? Or, just cut the
bar off.

Also, if that pin lock is that bad, the ball mount may never come out of
the receiver anyway.

If the lock is stuck, the tow bar may also be rotted to the receiver. More
heat and beat. I've seen tow bars that were seriously stuck on.
One time, I also helped a friend remove a ball hitch from a SUV. That took
heat, and impact gun to get the bolts to loosen.

Good point. Unless I hear of some trick to get the lock off with the key,
I'll probably end up doing that. A friend of mine already offered to just
cut it off with his angle grinder.
I guess that I was thinking that since everything seems to move freely with
the lock itself, and the bar slides back and forth easily, that maybe I was
doing something wrong in how I was trying to unlock it.

landfill it makes it more difficult to back right up to the edge of the
dump-off point. And, if I have an extra heavy load (really too heavy for
the vehicle) the towbar hangs very low causing problems getting in and out
of driveway ramps etc. This just happened when I took a chimney down and
had a load of bricks and debris to take to the landfill.

Since just unlocking the lock is not sufficient to slide it off the
bar, turn the lock right and left, to see if the bar is notched/
slotted, relative to the lock, and they have to align in order to
slide the lock off. You said everything is loose, once the lock is
unlocked: this lends itself to there being a slot, on/along the
length of the bar, that the lock needs to be turned to align with that
bar slot.

probably with weak rear springs. Put my old stove on it and went to a
friend's house. His street has speed bumps and it really scraped on
those.
Instead of tapping the lock with a hammer, whack it hard (wear glasses
in case the hammer chips) . I guess the key should be turned when you
whack it.

I have the same type of cylinder lock without a key attached to my receiver. I think the lock is titanium so cutting will not likely work. I'm going to try the big hammer method and hope the lock pins inside the lock break.
For those wondering why we use such a heavy duty lock. I moved halfway across the Country towing a trailer with all of my worldly possessions. I still have all the stuff so I'll assume it worked.

"Titanium" is just a name...it makes you think something is strong! It's most likely hardened steel.

For example, Master Lock Titanium Series locks are made with a stainless

Use an angle grinder with a metal cutting wheel. If you see sparks while
cutting it is made of steel.
If it actually is titanium then use a stone cutting wheel.

If the lock works , turn the lock barrel quarter turn to the right. Use a
medium size flat blade screwdriver inserted upwards through the hole in the
bottom to unscrew the set screw and release the lock.
If you don't have the key, drill upwards through the bottom hole to allow
access with the screwdriver. It's about 1/4" hole and you are drilling
through a soft alloy.

The Master Lock 30 Hitch Lock is held in place by a large set screw that is
tightened with a screwdriver through the hole underneath the lock. The key
allows the alloy barrel to be rotated to block screwdriver access to this hole.
If the key operates the lock loosen the set screw with a screwdriver.
If the key is missing or the lock does not work, drill upwards through hole
the get access with a screwdriver and loosen the set screw. Good Luck.
