Dude! I seriously couldn’t figure out how to get the spare off until i
watched your vid! I am so used to the old style, i never knew they even
made these super technological advances for the spare. Great vid!!!

Eric Rubin says:

NO WAY how about releasing the secondary latch holding the spare up, what
you did a monkey could do releasing the secondary latch most GM mechanics
can’t do

GrandpaBambu says:

Hey Jeff… Didn’t you say that you were going to show us how to ‘change’ a
flat tire??? All you showed us was how to lower the spare and check the air
pressure in the spare…

youtuubz says:

PRWorld says:

Thank you so much for this video!!! VERY HELPFUL!

tweed187187 says:

Thanks so much for the video.i got a 99 jimmy that i was under forever
trying to unscrew that thing off the tire and i couldnt.i than tried
jacking the spare tire up to see if i could get it off and that wasnt even
the right way lol.i never knew i had that hole for that,great video.

GrandpaBambu says:

I did have a flat on my 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe a while back. I quickly
located the spare suspended below the stowage boxes. Now, as I had never
lowered the spare prior, I was unsure as to where the crank to lower it
was. I quickly found a small round access panel (more like a plastic plug)
to where the crank was. This access panel had a slot in it for a screw
driver to remove it. ‘GREAT’ I didn’t have a screw driver. I eventually
found a 25 cent piece to remove the plug. The rest was easy…

John Scott says:

The crank and other tools are usually in a side compartment (Isuzu Rodeo),
in a compartment under the carpet, or in a compartment inside the rear door
(LC200).

Nestor Macias says:

I Have a bicycle… where is the spare tire located? is a 2010 Trek. 24 ”
tires. where are the tools stored?

kingcaesar1 says:

some Yukons have a secondary latch systemwhich requires you to use your
jack to lift the ctr. on the tire so the secondary safety latch system will
release. Shows us that Mr. Expert Village.
