The other day I decided to strip the spare wheel out and give the boot a good clean. Problem is I can't remove the bolt which secures the spare wheel down. I have soaked it with wd-40 but still won't budge. Any ideas

 

Try pushing down on the biscuit or letting some air out of it and turning the bolt maybe.

This may give you just enough slack to get the bolt moving.

 

WD40 won't help - It is a ' Water Dispersant [ WD !!! ] ' it has no lubricating qualities whatsoever............ Use a penetrating oil.

As above. Penetrating oil can be had from most motor factors.

 

Learn something new everyday lol. Well I managed to turn it this morning, don't think it's ever been out.

 

You've jinxed it now............

 

Next post: I've sheared off the bolt that holds the spare wheel down, how do I remove the end?

 

No! Managed to get the lot out and it's staying out! Lol

 

Coppaslip. That's the stuff - then it'll never stick in again.......

 

Was just about to post that, beat me to it David.
