There's a trick to getting the spare out. You need to use the jack. Jack the pressure off the bracket then loosen the nut with the lug wrench handle. Lower the spare as far as it will go. Go to the other side of the truck and yank the bottom of the jack out with the scissor jack handle and let the bracket flop down. Roll the tire off the off the bracket on the edge of the tire. When you get the spare off, I generally reinstall into the carrier back at the ranch. You get your arm under it when it comes down... you'll get a beating for a lesson!
