1. Insert the socket end of the extension on a
45 degree angle downward into the hoist drive shaft
hole. It is exposed when the rear gate is open and is
just above the rear bumper. Be sure the socket end
of the extension connects to the hoist shaft.
2. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the
spare tire. Keep turning 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 5-75 for more information.
3. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable when the
tire has been completely lowered, and pull it
through the wheel opening. Pull the tire out from
under the vehicle.
Notice: If you drive away before the spare tire or
secondary latch system cable has been reinstalled,
you could damage your vehicle. Always reinstall
this cable before driving your vehicle.
4. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
5. Position the chisel end of your wheel wrench in the
notch of the center cap and pry off the center cap.
