What are you trying to remove the spare tire from? Is it mounted on the axle? If you removed the lug nuts and it seems like its glued to the rotor, put the lug nuts back in about 3/4 of the way, then lower the jack to put come pressure on the wheel, roll back and forth a bit if needed and your wheels will likely break free. Sometimes corrosion makes the wheel stick. Good luck!
The battery is located in the rr corner of the trunk. You will need to removed the carpeted trim and floor cover over the spare wheel in the trunk. Next remove the clamp that secures the spare wheel. Then remove the spare wheel. You will also find the roll stop in the wheel well secured with a wing nut. Remove it too. Using a 10mm socket, first loosen the negative battery cable, then the positive battery cable. You will also need to remove the battery clamp near the bottom corner of the battery. The battery can then be slid out into the spare wheel well. Make sure to reinstall the overflow tube, (grey in color) into the replacement battery. Reassemble in reverse order. It is important that you use a replacement battery with the same amp/hr rating. ie. 90 or usually 110ah.

Push your foot on the brake and turn the steering wheel a little to the left and right and try removing the key.
After you remove the key put a little graphite powder in the keyhole to make removing the key easier. Also, get your spare key and see if it can easily be inserted and removed. If your spare key works like a champ, then your main key should be compared to the spare key to see if its defective. If the main key is defective, then take your spare key and make a copy of it at the locksmith shop.
hi not sure on your vehicle? but if spare wheel is on a crrier under rear of car ? then to remove it lift up the carpetin boot near the rear crossmember that hatch locks onto you will/may see a head of bolt in a dished hole this bolt head is same size as wheel nuts so use wheel brace and turn bolt anticlockwise as you would to remove wheel nuts keep turning bolt til it stops this actually lowers the carrier with wheel spare then you will see thet there is a hooked bracket at end of bolt just lift carrier and move hook off you can now lower carrier/spare wheel off reinstall is reverse proceedure now a word of advice? lubricate the threaded lowering bolt b4 refit of carrier and do not run vehicle without a wheel on the carrier as carrier can/will jump off hook
open your tailgate and right in the middle in front of your tailgate catch pull the boot carpet back or there might be a little **** in the carpit when pulled back you should see a bolt head remove your wheel brace and apply to the bolt head turn antyclockwise you spare wheel should drop a you turn it,hope this helps.adrian
The spare wheel is located under the rear boot carpet.BUT some meganes do not come with a spare as its an optional extra when the car is purchased. If there is no spare, then a can of foam and a small compressor to repair and inflate the punctured tyre, should be fitted.
