Spare Tire Removal

Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the
lug wrench to rotate the nut counterclockwise until the
spare is on the ground with enough slack in the cable to
allow you to pull the tire out from under the vehicle.

CAUTION!

The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack extension tube only. Use of an air wrench or
other power tools is not recommended and they can
damage the winch.

When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the
cable and pull it through the center of the wheel.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid icy or
slippery areas.
