You next need to put the tyre on the carrier and push
the tyre back as far as it can go. The idea for the
bottom of the tyre to rest against the tyre carrier
itself. Mark this position on the top of the tyre
mount as shown with the arrow to the right. Then
move your mark 5mm further back towards the car
to ensure the tyre is forced hard on to the tyre
carrier when installed. Drill out these holes with
10mm drill and fit M8x25 bolts with spring washer’s
flat washers and flange nuts. Torque all bolts.
To fit the tie bar you must first pre assemble the tie
bar. Screw in rod end and jam nuts to corresponding
side of turn block. One side is RH thread, one side is
LH thread. This allows you to adjust the tyre carrier
in or out without having to remove it. Simply loosen
off the jam nuts and turn the turn block with a 19mm
spanner.
Fit tie bar to rear door support bracket as shown with
the door open (this leaves more room) fit tie bar to
tyre carrier. Leave tie bar adjusted out as far as it will
go. Now close your door. You should see a gap
between the tyre carrier and the soft stop. Adjust the
length of the tie rod until the tyre carrier sits firm on
the soft stop with the door is closed.
Once you’re happy
with its position torque up each jam nut on to the turn
block. As the soft stop wears you will periodically need
to adjust the tie rod to suit.
