Removing and Storing the Spare
Tire
Your spare tire is stored underneath your
vehicle, below the pickup bed area.
To remove the spare tire:
1. To easily remove the spare tire cap,
insert a coin or a flathead driver and
turn counterclockwise as engraved on
the cap.
2. Connect the socket and wheel nut
wrench.
3. Use the wheel nut wrench to loosen
the bolt enough to lower the spare
tire.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise
until the spare tire reaches the

ground.
4. After the spare tire reaches the
ground, continue to turn the wrench
counterclockwise, and draw the spare
tire outside. Never rotate the wrench
excessively, otherwise the spare tire
carrier may be damaged.
5. Remove the retainer (1) from the
center of the spare tire.
