Best way to remove spare wheel cage ???

[badasssaxo]

Im going down the route of lightening as much as i can and for starters im doing away with the spare and carrying tyre foam instead but i need to remove the cage too, so.....

whats the best way to get it off without damaging the underside.

cheers guys.....

I did the same as Sidvish. Probably an easy way of removing it but........i didn't know how! If you don't intend putting it back on the car just angle grind it or if you want it back on in the future (To sell) wait for one of the sensible members input.
