CAUTION:

Someone standing too close during the
procedure could be injured by the jack.
If the spare tire does not slide off the jack
completely, make sure no one is behind
you or on either side of you as you pull
the jack out from under the spare.

carefully remove the jack. Use one hand to
push against the spare while firmly pulling the
jack out from under the spare tire with the
other hand.

If the spare tire is hanging from the cable,
insert the hoist end of extension, and wheel
wrench into the hoist shaft hole in the bumper
and turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise
to lower the spare the rest of the way.
