How Do the Locking Bars On the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier Stay On the U-Bolt
Question:
Sorry, but this doesnt make sense to me. How do the locking bars stay on the lugs? There does not seem to be anything that will prevent them from being slide right off the thing and the tire walking away. Tension doesnt just keep it on, does it?

Expert Reply:
The angled brackets on the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier part # CE27202 are threaded. In order to un-thread these angled brackets off the u-bolt you would need to spin them round but this cannot be done while the padlock holds them in place. If you don't like this design we have the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock part # FETCSTL0701 which use a locking clamp that goes around the lug nut and prevents it from being loosened.
