Spare tire under tongue won't move?

[Jud]

So checking the condition of the spare tire under the tongue of our 2011 Passport 285RL and it won't come off? Any suggestions?

Not quite sure what you're asking, but if a frozen nut is the problem, WD40 is usually the answer. If you could be more specific, so can we.

Two simple rules:

If it doesn't move, but should.... WD40
If it does move but shouldn't..... A Name Brand Duct Tape (as opposed to the Dollar Store CR*P)

p.s. BOTH Should be in every tool kit!

So after some careful inspection it was determined that a slightly different angle of view, which is not the easiest I might add, was in order. Finally the locking pin out and the pliers applied did the trick. I sure wouldn't want to change a tire on one of these trailers at a road side. By the way, tire was in great shape, has held pressure too. Thank you for the reply to my inquiry.... I knew I could count on this forum for a reply.

That tire is at least 5 years old, and even though it "looks good", it might be a good idea to replace it due to age, just like you should for the tires on the ground. These trailer tires just do not hold up well when they get over 5 years on them, even if they have never been used.
