Just curious if there are any bulletproof bumper rear tire carriers still being used out there? Mine has held up great for about 20 years, but now it's time for some restoration. Has anyone rebuilt or replaced a spindle type hinge? Mine is so tight now it can barely be moved. It appears to be pressed into the bumper itself and welded at bottom to keep from spinning. How do you get that out? Grind the weld and beat it out? I just didn't want to do more damage. Thanks for any input!!
