The hanger doesn’t come with any instructions but it’s not rocket science. For anyone fitting one, the bolt with the clip on the end goes on the left hand side, before you fit it make sure that you have put the spacer on first; because when you put it in, the clip makes it a captive bolt and you can’t get get it out again! (Guess who found out the hard way)
There is a pin which holds the forward end in place, there is no clip to hold it in so I just bent the end that protrudes at right angles using a pair of pliers.
Once the hanger is secured at the front end, and the left hand bolt is in place, slide the wheel up the carrier and then lift the whole assembly so the head of the LH bolt goes through the “keyhole” and then slide it into the recess where it will take the weight. The other bolt (or your sparesaver security device) can then be screwed up and the whole thing tightened.
Mine was quite a tight fit but it did go in. There is not much space underneath particularly if you have the tow bracket and electrics fitted. I put the rear wheels on to the levelling ramps to lift the back end. Try doing that with a flat tyre! I hope I never have to use it! Don’t forget to order a Sparesafe to prevent your new wheel getting stolen.

This was a great solution to my dilemma. I wanted 18″ wheels, but the California does not come with a spare wheel if you make this choice. I bought the spare wheel carrier which came with the security device, then bought a second hand 17″ wheel from eBAy. Problem solved and don’t have to rely on puncture kit!
