Wheel Horse Cigar Lighter - How does it work?

Recommended Posts

RedRanger

I've got a 867 with the original cigar lighter.  It heats up when pushed in, but does not want to pop back out on its own.

 

Is this something I can fix?  I've cleaned it and soaked it in WD40.  It slides in and out easily and gets red hot.  Just doesn't pop back out on its own.

The barrel of the lighter is spring loaded. When you push it in, clips in the socket hold it. When the element heats up, the clips expand and the spring pops the lighter out.

So is my "barrel" broken then?  The clips are obviously there since it holds it in.  Guess I have to check this spring?
