That would have to be done before laying the tire down to the ground.

I can only assume it's to allow one to not have to lift the spare all the way down from the carrier or all the way up to the carrier. I would imagine one could loosen the nut nearly all the way off, lower the carrier to the ground and reach under to take the nut completely off. Reverse to mount the spare to the carrier.
