How to Remove a Spare Tire

Hi! I'm Jeff Wong wiht Expert Village and today we are going to learn how to change a flat tire. In many SUV's and trucks, the spare tire can be located under the vehicle in the rear. In many SUV's and trucks, the spare tire is suspended from the bottom of the vehicle with a crank system that can be removed with the crank. So look for the crank whole in the rear of the vehicle and insert the crank into there. Turn in a counterclockwise fashion and the spare tire will be lowered from below. Be sure there is enough slack to remove the tire from the vehicle. To check the air pressure of your spare tire remove the cap and press and hold your pressure gage until it gives a reading. Be sure that you spare tire pressure is within the range that is listed on your tire. This value can be found printed along the sidewall of the tire.
