5. Insert the open
end of the
extension (J)
through the hole in
the rear bumper (I)
(hoist shaft
access hole).
Be sure the hoist end (J) of the extension (D)
connects to the hoist shaft (B). The ribbed
square end of the extension is used to lower
the spare tire.
6. Turn the wheel wrench (E) counterclockwise to
lower the spare tire (H) to the ground. Continue
to turn the wheel wrench until the spare tire
can be pulled out from under the vehicle.
If the spare tire does not lower to the ground,
the secondary latch is engaged causing
the tire not to lower. See Secondary Latch
System on page 484 for more information.
7. Use the wheel
wrench hook that
allows you to
pull the hoist cable
towards you, to
assist in reaching
the spare tire.
8. Tilt the tire
retainer (G) at
the end of the
cable when the
tire has been
lowered, so it
can be pulled
up through the
wheel opening.
9. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
