Hey guys,
I am attempting to remove the spare tire at the back of my plus 8. I’ve done a search but I find nothing that refers to process.
I’ve removed the bolt holding the luggage rack and the spare tire and then removed the luggage rack. No problem. Next I have attempted to remove the cover on the spare tire. I can see no obvious way to remove it. The cover is tight around the tire and I see no way to loosen it. The lamp at the top is keeping the tire and cover from coming out.
What am I missing?

Hi Richard,
I have the Morgan Factory Lightweight alloys i.e. the one's with the centre lock nut, the wheels are 16 "X 7" and like yours I have a rack on the back and a mohair elasticated wheel cover which is a good fit so needs a little persuasion once you have removed the wheel by undoing the Tee Bar and lifting the wheel from the bottom side of the well and then you will find it will clear the Cobra lamp quite effortlessly as you lift it towards you tilting the top downwards and lifting it clear at the bottom until it clears..
The cover is then removed fairly easily.
I am ex boxing and Rugby (in former years) and at 105Kgs find this fairly effortless as long as you don't rush it tbh, so good luck.
