10. Remove the Dodge center cap using a
jack tool from inside the aluminum road
wheel and snap on the protective plastic
plate.
NOTE:
The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel
from being scratched when sliding it under
the vehicle.
11. Stand the wheel up against the bumper
with the plastic plate facing you.
12. Slide the cable end, spring and metal
tube through the wheel and plastic plate.
Rotate the stamping on the cable and
push it through the wheel and plastic
plate. Snap the stamping into place.
13. Slide the road wheel on the ground using
the protective plate until it is directly un-
der the winch and between the rear bum-
per and exhaust system heat shields.
Raise the tire by turning the lug wrench on
the winch extension clockwise until it
clicks/skips three times to make sure the
cable is tight.
NOTE:
Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the
winch cable may result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.
14. Lower the jack to the fully closed posi-
tion. Return the tools to the proper posi-
tions in the tool bag. Fold the flap on the
tool bag under the tools and roll the tools
in the bag underneath the others. Use
the Velcro® straps to secure the tool bag
to the jack with the lug wrench on the
forward side of the jack. Expand the jack
on the bracket by turning the thumb
screw clockwise until it is tight to pre-
vent rattles.
