Spare wheel carrier hook

[Welshy_Pete]

Ive gone to check the spare wheel but the carrier siezed up. I turn the bolt inside the boot and it wont even move solid as a rock.

Sprayed with wd40 etc.

man up or get some decent penetrating fluid on it, they all seize

wd40 and leave it over night. if that dont work then hit it very hard with a very big hammer and call it loads of 4 letter words.

I sprayed extra and will leave it over night to see what happens.

They are shit for this, try wd40 if not just cut it mate.

IIRC you can buy new ones off PUG for not too much but I may be wrong but they all do it and are a nightmare to sort out once they do!!

MTFU you lot, just try harder to undo, find something with more leverage to undo the bolt.

Once off copper grease it up, now mines so easy to undo.

i had trouble with this aswell, i first got an airsaw, cut it in half got my spare wheel off sold it to someone made a bit of money from it, through the carrier in the skip, and now carry this orange card that has RAC wrote on it.

If you need a new one, there's a store on eBay who is selling original parts cheap. He's got a new security locking kit for a tenner

Not sure tbh. Just saw it whist browsing the other day lol

Loads if WD40 and wire brush any of the thread you can get to.

Use a BFO screwdriver or a flat file with a hole in the handel and then the round fole through the hole to get the leaverage you need.

I had a look under the car and had to cut the carreir hook of in the end. I just weld it back togeather properly easy enough and loosen it all up now. Then copper grease on it after that to keep clean.

But while looking in the spare wheel I found this kit hanging down
