Hey Gang,

Im not the most proficient wrench jockey and im hoping you guys will have some advise for me.

Im trying to remove the stock hitch and spare wheel from my 87 4runner.

Problem 1) The original spare wheel lever thing is MIA, is there any other way to remove the spare tire without having that lever-jack thing? Or do i need to find the real thing somewhere online? If the tire cant be removed without it, where can i find a replacement online? assuming i cant find one at a nearby junkyard.

Problem 2) Im trying to remove the hitch, but the bolts/nuts in the frame are absolute stuck like theres no tomorrow. Is there any some sort of grime/rust solvent that you guys reccomend....or is there another way to get bolts from their nuts that im unaware of?

Alrighty thanks so much guys!
