the T-shaped opening of the spare tire
winch. Apply pressure to keep the jack rod

reach under the vehicle, remove the retainer
chain, and carefully slide the tire from under
the rear of the vehicle.

through the wheel. Be sure the rubber
spacer is centered on the wheel before lift-

rotate the winch clockwise to raise the
wheel to the vehicle.
NOTE:
Inspect the spacer every six years and re-
place as necessary. Contact your NISSAN
dealer for replacement parts if necessary.
