Removing the Spare Tire and Tools The jacking equipment you'll need is stored along the driver's side inner rear quarter panel. In some cases, you may have to remove the spare tire in order to reach the jack. The following instructions explain how to remove the spare tire, depending on where it is mounted on your vehicle. See Spare Tire on page 5-84. Notice: If you remove or restow a tire from/to the storage position under the vehicle when it is supported by a jack, you could damage the tire and/or your vehicle. Always remove or restow a tire when the vehicle is on the ground. 2. Remove the underbody-mounted spare by inserting the chisel end of the wheel wrench, on an angle, into the hoist shaft hole in the rear bumper. Be sure the chisel end of the wheel wrench connects into the hoist shaft. 3. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the spare tire. Keep turning the wheel wrench until the spare tire has been completely lowered. 4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the wheel opening. 1.
