If you have a cargo van or a passenger van, the equipment you will need is located in the passenger side rear corner of the vehicle.

Remove the retaining wing bolt and lift it off of the mounting bracket.

If you have a van with the 15-passenger seating arrangement, the equipment you will need is secured on the rear floor of the passenger side of the vehicle.

To access the equipment, remove the retaining wing bolt and lift it out of the mounting bracket.

The tools you will be using include the jack (A), jack handle (B), hoist extension (C), jack handle extension (D), and the wheel wrench (E).

The spare tire is mounted in the rear underbody of the vehicle.

You will use the hoist extension, the jack handle extensions and the wheel wrench to remove the underbody-mounted spare tire.

To lower the spare tire from the vehicle:

1. Spare Tire

2. Tire/Wheel Retainer

3. Hoist Cable

4. Hoist Assembly

5. Hoist Shaft

6. Jack Handle and Hoist Extensions

7. Wheel Wrench

1. Assemble the wheel wrench (G) to one or two of the jack handle extensions and the hoist extension.

Insert the hoist extension end through the hole in the rear bumper.

2. Be sure the hoist extension end connects to the hoist shaft (E). 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 .




4. When the tire has been lowered, pull the tire toward you so you can reach the tire retainer and pull it up through the wheel opening.

If you have a vehicle which was completed from a cab and chassis, refer to the information from body supplier/installer.

The spare tire is a full-size tire, like the other tires on the vehicle.

5. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
