Default Tried to flip my spare mount over to fit a bigger tire...

So today I got around to finally flipping over my spare mount to fit the spare tire I have had sitting around for a few weeks now, and boy do I wish I had waited... I was reseating the mount and not a single bolt would screw back in. Upon further investigation there is no longer a nut on the other end for the bolts... this is very frustrating! Has this happened to anyone else? More importantly, how do I fix this!?

Thanks in advance!

You need to pull the interior panel off.there is nuts behind there that you need to hold while you put the bolts back in.

As mentioned above you need to hold the nut in place from the backside.

Do I access the back by just taking the handle off the padding of the door and snap it off?

Pull the handle and subwoofer then pop the whole panel off.theres a plastic sheet that you need to cut.really easy just take your time and you should have it all done in and hour.

Thanks that was very helpful! I nearly dropped the speaker, but thankfully caught it! All is well now, thanks for the help, wish I had knew this before I had gotten into it!
