Use the hook end of the jack tool it doesn't hook on to anything in there but it drives the mechanism to lower the spare. who would of thought to use the hook end! thats what you use th crank up the jack.

    you missed mentioning that toyota has a special "key" that goes between the hook and lowering mechanism...don't worry even the toyota manual forgets to mention this as well...one of many things they left out by the way..

SOURCE: Spare tire

Is the wheel the correct size? If so, then don't worry about it. It's just a spare. If it's completely wrong, then get the right one at a junkyard.

SOURCE: How do you release the spare tire underneath the truck?

The spare is held in place by a cable that is cranked up and down with a tool that is stored with the jack, the access hole for the tool to crank the spare down is in the rear bumper in most trucks, look underneath to see it and be sure.

SOURCE: Trying to get the spare tire off of my pick up truck

Hello, when you go to let it down can you turn the rod that you are useing to let the tire down? If not then the cable or gear box is rusted solid. That is what usually happens because of the location and lack of use. If it doesn't turn you will have to cut the cable or cradle that holds the tire up. If the rod does turn your spare tire carrier might have a safety catch. The catch can usually be released by putting a jack under the spare tire rim and raising it up. While your doing that turn the rod to crank up the tire. That should release the saftey catch and allow the tire to be lowered down.

B4000 problems

since you have a truck, what I would do is just saw it off, let the spare fall to ground, and just throw my spare tire in the back. Of course you can try to use wd40 to loosen the stuck mechanism. Little known fact: Brake fluid works best at loosening rust, just don\'t get it on any paint, as you can bet your bottom dollar the paint will be gone by morning.

How to put a spare tire back under 2001 Toyota Tacoma

my truck is a 92 tacoma and 01 tundra but they both are similar. unwind the cable by the back bumper there is a slot that the part of the jack handle is slipped into the the crank to lower or lift the spare tire. Sometimes u might have to lower and pull the plate down due to dirt, mud or whatever that might be holing it up. slide the tire under the truck and position the plplate in the middle of the rim. Crank it back up making sure that it is centered and secure to the bottom of the frame.

Does anyone know where I can find the undermounted spare tire harness ? I have searched all over and it seems that the tailgate harness is available yet I cant locate the undermounted harness. Please...

Hi,
Your spare tire is attached usin a cable system under the rear center of the truck. When you open the liftgate, in the center bottom there is a plastic panel with a bolt in the center near the liftgate door jamb lock mechanism. Use your tire lug nut tool to loosen (turn counterclockwise) this bolt and it will loosen the cable system dropping your spare to the ground. Dont forget to tighten the cable back up raising the retainer back to its original position after using the spare. When you get your flat tire fixed, you can drop the cable again and put your spare back under the truck......Mike

How do you get the spare tire off?

There is a crank tool in the black bag that is with the spare tire. The tool is hooked on one end and it slips through the back of the truck under the tailgate and above the bumper that you wind down and the tire is hooked by a chain. If it is frozen then you will need to cut the end off of the piece that holds the tire against the bottom of the bed.

Where is the spare tire on a 97 Toyota tacoma?

It is under the truck bed. Look underneath from the tailgate and you should be able to see it. Some of them are encased in plastic these days to protect the spare from debris from the road.

I believe on the earlier Tacomas there should be a notch (maybe between the bottom of the tailgate and the bumper) for the tire iron to go into to access a nut to lower the spare tire

Spare tire is stuck to the bottom of my trunk

If there is rust there is going to be damage anyway but there is no telling how much till you take the tire out. Better now then let it rust away where you cant see it and possible cause more problems
