I want to thank everyone who posted in threads regarding the spare tire removal.
I undertook the project today and can confirm the need to beat the spare with
several kicks to dislodge it from its mount.
If I would have needed to do this on the side of the road it would have been a
real adventure.
I mounted my spare using the Harbor Freight tongue mount
(http://www.harborfreight.com/trailer-spare-tire-carrier-93341.html). It was an
easy install and the spare will be easily accessable if needed. If you use this
mount I would advise placing rubber pieces between the mount and any place it
touches the tongue. This will prevent an cathotic action between the steel mount
and the aluminum tongue.
If you have not moved your spare to another location, I would strongly suggest you
do so before you really need it.
