sorry to hi jack this thread but i thought i would ask here instead of making another thread as it is virtually on the same topic.
basically the bolt you twist to bring the cage up seems to be seized so i can not raise the cage up with the spare wheel, is there any way of releasing this seized up bolt? or do i have to grind the f****r off and replace it? and where can i buy a replacement bolt for it?.
thanks again
Rob

it would be a lot easier if the bolt has a hex head

i have heard that they can refuse to tow you if they discovered you remove the spare tyre.
not sure if that is true or not.
any light?

They probably could but i could just say it never had one 
Besides its the same guy thats came out to me 2 or 3 times now so he kinda knows me if it really came down to it i could just call a family member to bring me the wheel, on long trips id stick it in the boot

yes alot of recovery companies require you to carry a legal and roadworthy spare tire
