I have a 1991 ford f150, i just purchased it and it does not have an owners manual. I have ordered a new one, but i was wondering if anyone has any tips to make it easier.

The best tip I can give is once you have it removed figure out a way to keep it in your bed so you don't have to remove it from under the truck on the side of a road ever again.

Even in Texas mine is rusted solid. i could however turn the bolt with the loop at the rear just enough to make it pop through the the big part of the keyhole looking hole

I think if I ever have a flat, I'll try to make it home or stop at a tire shop .

I agree with BldTruth, once you get it out from under there, I would keep it out. I recently had to do a fuel tank replacement and I spent as much time getting that spare out from under the bed, as I did removing the bed. Then you think back, what if I needed this spare on a roadside. I would never have got it out.

Now that the new tank is in and the bed back in place, The spare is mounted vertical to the side of the bed.

I get what everybody's saying but I just cleaned everything up and greased all the threads so I can keep my spare out of the way and use the whole bed.
I only have the damn thing for emergencies anyway and so far (knock wood) I've never had to use it.
But if I do I know it'll come out of there just like a new truck. Took almost a whole day to get everything nice though. If I never get a flat in the middle of nowhere I will have wasted all that time.
