Looking at the second spare wheel on the roof rack always seems a simple issue that is till you have to get it there.

I have lifted one on a couple of times and the wheel has not been exactly cooperative, heavy is the first thing that comes to mind.
Getting it off can also be entertaining.

The simplest I have considered is to get someone else to do it. For some reason it is hard to find anyone around when the loading operation has to be done.

Out of interest then how do others get their second spare on to the roof rack.

(I have thought of an ARB rear bar with a 2 wheel holder, but that adds additional weight to the rear considering I am also towing a van.)
