Yes if you drop the cage and remove the wheel you can unhook the back end of the cage. its a bit of a fiddle but easily done - particularly if you can put the car on a ramp or you have a pit

I know as within 24 hrs of getting my clio I sheared the retaining bolt and had to take the cage of so it didnt drag on the road.
 


Had mine out a year now. Its so easy to take out. i didnt even jack the car up!!
Do it with your eyes shut mate, more of a chalange then!

Ive had no spare wheel for ages now. Haveng got round to taking the cage off, mainly cos I havent got room for it really.

Couple of cans of "get you home foam" from Halfords and membership of a breakdown organisation solves the flat problem....!

That get you home foam really pisses off the tyre blokeys apparently! makes a mess of the wheel inside. Not that it matters tho!!?
