1992 v6 ute

[tzar]

how does the spare wheel holder in a ute work?

[Clint_G]

it works similar to the whcih on a boat trailer but can be wound both ways. it just pulls the tire up and holds it against the under side of the ute to keep it in place.

Behind the front seat where the jack is located there should be a long thin piece of metal that you feed into the hole at the rear of the ute, near the number plate, then all you do is crank the handle round and the spare wheel will slowly drop towards the ground, to put it back you simply crank the opposite way, but make sure when you do you tighten it right up to that it's hard against the under body of the car because if left loose they do swing and cause problems...
