how to remove trailor hookup?
I was trying to remove my spare tire when I noticed a bunch of wires tucked up inside the rim, I pull them out and to my surprize, the PO had a trailor hookup! Thanks for not mentioning that arse hole!
the wiring looks pretty bad, how should I go about removing this?

I cant get the spare out for the life of me, I dont have the special tool to work the mechinism.. any other way to get it down without torching it off?

try finding some type of square tubing to go in there and turn the mechanism...only saying this b/c all the lowering things for spare tires i've ever saw had a square end that went in it...but it's worth a shot...i even saw some solid square steels rods at home depot the other day...

I tried that, but it just spins around in the opening..
I think I will just cut it out, Im not gonna use it anymore anyways.. I dont want to put my spare superswamper 33x12.50 under there. Gonna fab up a custom/removable in bed peice.
