Function And Typical Wear
The Primary Function Is To Hold The Spare Wheel Securely Under The Vehicle Chassis And Allow Controlled Lowering/Raising Via A Cable Or Bolting System.

Regular Inspection During Routine Servicing Helps Prevent Unexpected Problems When The Spare Is Needed.

- Park Vehicle On A Flat, Stable Surface And Use Proper Lifting Points If Vehicle Must Be Raised.
- Support The Spare Wheel Before Releasing Any Retaining Components To Avoid Injury Or Dropping The Wheel.
- Release Or Remove The Retaining Fasteners/Cable Assembly According To The Vehicle Service Manual.
- Remove The Old Carrier And Clean The Mounting Area; Inspect For Corrosion Or Damage To The Chassis Attachment Points.
- Fit The New Carrier, Aligning It With The Original Mounting Holes; Use Correct Grade Fasteners And Replace Any Corroded Bolts/Nuts.
- Tighten Fasteners To Manufacturer Torque Specifications (Refer To Service Manual). Check The Retention Mechanism And Operate The Lowering/Raising Function Several Times To Confirm Smooth Operation.
- Apply Corrosion Protection Or Anti-Seize On Fasteners As Recommended For Long-Term Reliability.
Installation Recommendations
Recommended For Installation By Mechanics Or Competent DIYers With Basic Tools. Always Use Replacement Fasteners If Existing Ones Are Corroded Or Damaged. Inspect The Retaining Cable, Winch Or Locking Mechanism When Installing; Replace Any Frayed Cables Or Worn Components. After Installation, Verify That The Spare Is Secure And That The Release Mechanism Operates Freely. Use Threadlocker Or Anti-Seize According To Local Service Practices.
