10. Remove the Dodge center cap using a jack tool from inside the aluminum road

wheel and snap on the protective plastic plate.

NOTE: The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel from being scratched when sliding

it under the vehicle.

11. Stand the wheel up against the

bumper with the plastic plate facing
you.

12. Slide the cable end, spring and

metal tube through the wheel and
plastic plate. Rotate the stamping on
the cable and push it through the
wheel and plastic plate. Snap the
stamping into place.

13. Slide the road wheel on the ground

using the protective plate until it is
directly under the winch and
between the rear bumper and
exhaust system heat shields. Raise
the tire by turning the lug wrench on
the winch extension clockwise until
it clicks/skips three times to make
sure the cable is tight.

NOTE: Double check to ensure the tire is

snug against the underbody of the vehicle.
Damage to the winch cable may result if
the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.

14. Lower the jack to the fully closed

position. Return the tools to the
proper positions in the tool bag. Fold
the flap on the tool bag under the
tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the
Velcro straps to secure the tool bag
to the jack with the lug wrench on
the forward side of the jack. Expand
the jack on the bracket by turning
the thumb screw clockwise until it is
tight to prevent rattles.
