Spare Tire

[jrvanas]

Hey all,

 

I have a 2001 pathy and need to know how to remove the spare tire. I can't believe I'm asking this question but I poped under the rear end today and thought there would be some lug nuts - nope...

 

Any help would be appreciated.

isnt it a winch arangement

I would suggest looking in your owners manual or around your jack. I believe sw is correct. When they moved the tire under the rear end, they set it up with a winch (though I don't know the mechaniccs of it as mine is on the tail end). Trick it to find what to crank.

I will look around a little.

 

My owners manual says nothing about the spare - but does have details if its mounted on the back. Shrug - I will look some more.

 

Thanks

under the rear mat, there is a mechanism. Use the tools supplied under the rear seat to change your tires. There should be a gadget in there to put on the nut and start turning.

Thanks man.

 

I looked under the rear seat and I have:

 

1> Jack

2> Jack lift tool (bar)

3> pouch w/ gray steel cup (prob for spare removal) and lug wrench

 

Should I have anymore tools? Some people said they had tools for their spark plugs.

 

Thanks again man (manual does not say a thing!)

My 89 didn't but my 94 does have 2 plug tools.

 

The lug wrench is also the cranck handle for the jack...
