If it is hard to loosen the tire holddown wing bolt by hand, you can loosen it easily using the jack handle.

  1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of the tire hold-down wing bolt.

    WARNING

    Ensure the spare tire retainer is properly aligned with the center of the spare tire to prevent the spare tire from “rattling”.

    Otherwise, it may cause the spare tire to fall off the carrier and lead to an accident.
