: Spair Tire bracket and Holder Removal ski1 12-09-2004, 06:38 PM i have had mine down several times, and replaced stocker with my 315s. easy to do, pop the lock off the bumper (with your truck key), insert the square tube lever and crank with tire iron. there is a plate attached to a cable that holds the wheel in place tbone1227 12-09-2004, 06:47 PM i removed the spair along time ago but hadnt got around to taking it all off - did you remove it all ? i saw the bracket and assume that i can just unbolt and get everything out of there ? Jesse 12-09-2004, 09:07 PM tbone1227 All you should have to do is remove the bolt and everything will drop out. I had to replace one on my 2000, it was all rusted up, and the cable would not lower. Good luck.

I didn't think there was that much room in there. I take it it's a pretty tight fit? How tight is it? Burner 12-09-2004, 10:33 PM No MAGTECH diff cover for him.......

I tried to fit my 315 under there, but it hung too low, that's why I removed mine. Again, very simple to remove, have fun!!! oscar80 12-15-2004, 11:25 AM Dropped that stupid thing on my head with the tire still attached. didnt get hurt though lucky for me. dave ski1 12-17-2004, 12:28 PM very tight fit with a 35, had no more than 1/2 inch all the way around and less with the wiring harness on the hitch. I have the banks exhaust, not sure if it would be any different with stock exhaust pipe. you can defintely tell it is there, shows a bit more rubber than the stock spare. tysmith 12-17-2004, 05:58 PM Dropped that stupid thing on my head with the tire still attached. didnt get hurt though lucky for me. dave Here's your sign... ):h keepin' it 12-17-2004, 07:10 PM Took it off. Put in trash. Undercoated holes. Thing ain't no good with 37" tires. Leaves the end looking clean and everything easy to get to. Just my .02.:D | ||
