Try using the search button (top right) for the word "spare" (minus the quotes) in the trx-4 section here: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/traxxas-trx-4/

Take your soldering iron and place it on the nut holding the tire on. This will melt the thread locker on the nut and you can remove the nut easily.

If there is access to the screw which I'm guessing is 2mm take a 2mm hex wrench and a nut driver and take it off.

a screw would be nice. but it's a round metal spline molded into the plastic.

On a bit of a side note I just came across a 3D printed tailgate on shapeways that might be a nice upgrade if you happen to strip out the spare tire holder and still want to keep it. Its pretty pricey but they've designed it to lift up the spare roughly 11mm which is a nice plus.
