Hiya, not knowing what your spare wheel carrier looks like & working on the idea, that you may have to cut the carrier apart to gain access, i've found this item on EBAY

after last posting we have found the bar needed to lower the spare wheel from the underside,however when we insert the bar into the hole above the rear bumper to undo the bolt it just turns without lowering the wheel.we have tried two bars to no avail anyone got any ideas please

If it's like our previous Transit(..in that, the end of the wrench is like a large blade ended scewdriver!)you do have to make sure that the you really continue to keep inward pressure whilst you're turning it..otherwise it just slips out of the "notch" and turns free.

However if it is just "stuck",it may be worth spraying the winch assembly with WD40 and leaving to soak(..make sure it can't drain onto the spare though!) and then giving the wheel a slight pull down,whilst someone turns the winch...

Hope this helps...
