Hyline Offroad TJ/YJ REAR SWINGOUT TIRE CARRIER ASSEMBLY - Manual (Page 3)

Step 5 – Apply a thin layer of quality white lithium grease onto the entire shaft of the Pivot Pin before
inserting into Tire Carrier. Insert the Pivot Pin through the Tire Carrier tube with the keyed end facing
down. Make sure you have installed the Brass Washers properly. (Refer to Figure 3). With the Pivot Pin
protruding through the Tire Carrier tube you can now slide the Pivot Pin down inside the bumper tube.
The keyed notch on the Pivot Pin will slide into the cutout in the bottom of the bumper tube. Once you
have the Pivot Pin seated properly you can now install the supplied ½”-13 Gr 8 Hex Head Bolt,
Lock Washer and Flat Washer up through the bottom of the bumper and thread into the Pivot Pin. This
will lock the pivot pin in place. You do not have to overtighten the ½”-13 Bolt… Tighten just enough so
that the Tire Carrier still opens and closes smoothly.
Step 6 – Install the other Rod End Fitting onto the Tire Carrier & tighten. (Fig. 3)
Step 7 – Now Install the 3 Wheel Studs into the Slide Adjustable Tire Mount.
Make sure you place wheel studs in the correct holes for your
wheel bolt pattern. You can use either a mechanical press, hammer or
bench vise to install the wheel studs. Install the Slide Adjustable Tire
Mount to Tire Carrier using the four supplied ½”-13 x 1-1/2” Gr 8 Hex
Head Bolts, Lock Washers and Flat Washers.
DO NOT TIGHTEN BOLTS YET.
Install your spare tire. With the tire installed you can now adjust the
sliding mount to the best position for your size tire. Once the position
is set, Tighten all four bolts. Note: Tire should be tight against swingout
base arm. This will help to keep the tire from vibrating.
Step 8 – Install the black rubber stem bumper onto plate on bumper. Work into hole
By twisting and pushing. (See Figure 4 For Location)
