Spare Tire Location
The spare tire for your Bronco is mounted inside
on a carrier at the right rear quarter panel unless
you have an optional outside mounted spare
tire. To remove the spare tire, remove the wing
nut and plate. If so equipped, use a door key to
unlock the lock assembly and remove the plate.
To stow the spare tire, place the wheel on the
bolt and tighten the plate and wing nut, or lock
assembly, if so equipped.
