spare half-a-wheel stuck !
W reg MR2 - Recently had a puncture and the spare won't come out!! Hell of a job getting the locking nut to move at all and now it just revolves without releasing the wheel. Any advice welcome

Re: spare half-a-wheel stuck !
\i have to admit i dont use the retention Long Bolt & bracket
It sounds like the knob is turning on the threaded bar or nut, cant remember if the long threaded bar, goes into a welded in nut or the bracket it goes into is just threaded.
I have to say never heard of this.
only thing i could suggest is cutting the handle/knob off the threaded bar??
As your turning it is the bar/bolt moving around?

Re: spare half-a-wheel stuck !
That worked fine - small addendum - once you have chipped away enough of the plastic bolt head to get a purchase - a wrecking bar fetches it off a treat!
