Spare Tire Removal Instructions
• The spare tire is located under the vehicle beneath the center console area.
1. Assemble the spare tire tools into a T-handle and place the square end over the
spare tire winch drive nut.
2. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning freely. This will
allow enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out from
underneath the vehicle.
3. To remove the compact spare tire/cover assembly, assemble the winch T-handle
extensions to form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut, refer to
“Assembling The Spare Tire Hook” graphic in “Spare Tire Tools”. Rotate the nut
to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning freely. This will allow enough
slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out from under the vehicle.
NOTE: If either front tire is flat it may be
necessary to jack up the vehicle to
remove the compact spare tire/cover
assembly from under the vehicle.
4. Stand the tire/cover assembly upright
and remove the wheel spacer by
squeezing the winch retaining tabs
together. Push the retainer through
the spare tire to release it from the
wheel.
