Step 5
Hold up the main center section of the
new tire carrier and secure it to the hinges
using the supplied M10 x 60mm bolts, lock
washers and flat washers.
Reinstall the eight factory bolts that secured
the factory spare tire carrier in place.
Snug the hardware,
but do not fully tighten.
Step 8
To remove the factory wiring harness from the
tire carrier, remove the screws beneath the
third brake light to remove the plastic covering
the wiring harness path. Disconnect the clip
from the brake light and remove the two
screws that secure the brake light in place.
Step 6
To ensure the center section of the tire carrier
is spaced evenly on the hinges, place one of the
hinge covers over the hinge bolts. The end of
the cover should be evenly spaced both above
and below the factory hinge. There should be
no contact with the factory hinge.
Once evenly spaced, remove the cover and
tighten all hardware to the recommended
torque specifications on page one.
Open and close the door to ensure
the unit operates as intended.
Step 7
Place one of the hinge covers over one of the
hinges and align it with the holes of the main
section. Secure the cover using M6 hex head
bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts.
Ensure that the cover is
not contacting the hinge.
Repeat this step for
the other hinge cover.
