11. Once the tire carrier and support bracket are assembled, torque the 7/16” hardware
to 46-50 ft/lbs and the 5/8” hardware to 70-90 ft/lbs.
12. Install the supplied zerk fitting into the supplied hole in the tire carrier pivot tube.
Once installed, use a grease gun to lubricate the pivot.
13. Close the tire carrier. Install the spare tire to the tire mounting bracket. Use the
three wheel studs supplied. The wheel studs can be pressed in or use a vise and
hammer to install them. They can also be installed by installing the tire and use lug
nuts to tighten and the studs will pull in when tightening the studs.
14. Once the studs are installed, attach the tire to the mounting bracket. Slide the tire
mounting bracket, on the backside of the wheel, into the bracket mounting tube on
the tire carrier. With the tire pushed all the way in, mark the tire mounting bracket
using the supplied hole in the tire carrier tube. Remove the tire and tire mounting
bracket from the carrier.
