1. Assemble the wheel wrench (G)
to one or two of the jack handles
and the hoist extensions (F).
Insert the hoist extension end
through the hole in the rear
bumper.
2. Be sure the hoist extension end
connects to the hoist shaft. The
chiseled end of the extension is
used to lower the spare tire.
3. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to lower the
spare tire to the ground.
Continue to turn the wheel
wrench until the spare tire can
be pulled out from under the
vehicle.
If the spare tire does not lower to
the ground, the secondary latch
is engaged causing the tire not
to lower. See Secondary Latch
System on page 10 77.
4. When the tire has been lowered,
pull it closer to reach the tire
retainer and pull it up through
the wheel opening.
For a vehicle that was
completed from a cab and
chassis, refer to the information
from the body supplier/installer.
The spare tire is a full size tire,
like the other tires on the
vehicle.
Vehicle Care
5. Put the spare tire near the
flat tire.
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
If the vehicle has plastic wheel nut
caps, loosen them by turning the
wheel wrench counterclockwise.
The wheel nut caps are designed to
remain with the center cap. Remove
the center cap.
If the wheel has a smooth center
piece, place the chisel end of the
wheel wrench in the slot on the
wheel and gently pry it out.
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat on page 10 68 for more
information.
2. Loosen all the wheel nuts with
the wheel wrench. Do not
remove them yet.
