Install the cap with a rubber mallet.
Now it’s time to secure the tyre carrier to the
rear door with the tie rod as the link. You may
need to adjust the position of the door mount
and the tie rod length. Also adjust the height
of the plastic soft stop. Open the door all the
way to ensure no binding. Then aim to have
the tyre carrier held firmly against the door but
not too tight. Over time you will need to
adjust the tie rod to ensure a firm hold against
the door. The tie rod is designed to push the
door open during normal operation and hold the
tyre carrier closed, no vertical load is applied to
the door.
Next is to fit the tyre mount. Bolt the bracket
tyre mount assembly in place and torque
M10x30 bolts with spring washer and flat
washers either side. Fit the tyre insert and
loosely secure with 2 M12x 30 bolts and spring
washer and flat washer.
