To remove the spare tire from a ute, first locate it under the tray bed. Use the tool found near the jack behind the rear seats to lower the tire from its position between the rear bumper and tray. Also, have a wheel brace ready to unscrew the wheel nuts. Follow these steps for safe and effective removal.
Release any locks or latches by turning or sliding them as needed. After securing the release, gently pull the tire downward. Sometimes, the spare tire may stick due to debris or rust, so a firm tug may be required. If necessary, apply some side-to-side motion while pulling to help dislodge it.
Once the tire is free, remove it completely from the compartment. It’s now accessible for use when needed. In this manner, you can efficiently remove the spare tire from a VE Ute without requiring any tools.
Next, we’ll explore how to properly maintain your spare tire to ensure it remains in good condition for future use. Regular checks can help prevent complications in emergencies.
