Spare Wheel Bracket Bolt Stuck

[Badjamin]

My gross injustice trait just went into overdrive! You need to be reimbursed for the hell you have been put through. I feel yoyr pain. We need a victims of VW page devoted to this! I am not joking.

Glad you got it sorted buddy! May you never need to take that spare wheel off for anything other than planned mods and maintenance.

Maybe somebody was taking spare wheel security a step too far?

It certainly looks that way. A proper headshaker it was. Almost as if it was done on purpose!

My superstitious side has kicked in, after mentioning the locking bolt I can’t find the key to my Heyner bolt, I only keep it in one place to avoid this situation.
New one in the post, I’ll find out if they’re all the same configuration otherwise I’ll be cutting my locking guard off as well.
