E. POSITION SPINDLE PROPERLY ON FRAME

1. Close tailgate completely. Be sure Tire Carrier is seated properly into the Spindle Housing.

2. With the Spindle Housing on the frame and the ½” bolts hand tight, close the Tire Carrier and with

one hand pressing the Tire Carrier into the Saddle Bracket, use the other hand to press on the top of

the Tire Carrier. This will seat the Spindle Housing properly on the frame. The goal is to have the Tire

Carrier vertical or angled in towards the car if possible. Tighten the forward ½” bolt on the Spindle

Housing FIRST and then tighten the rearward ½” bolt.
