Got stranded with a flat, becasue I couldn't get the spare off of this mount. The 2 wheel studs that attach to the bracket and hold the spare are just loose studs, so as soon as you loosen the lug nuts holding the spare, the entire stud spins. The only way to get them off is if you have a lug wrench for the front to turn the nuts, and another wrench of some kind to hold the head of the bolt. I didn't have that extra wrench with me, so I couldn't get the lug nuts off.
