Same question you had towards the end. which way to return spare to chain holder? Filler valve up or down, mine was filler valve up from the factory/dealer. Most u-tube videos are filler valve up, but it's easier to check and fill air pressure with the filler valve down. I filed mine today and returned to the stowed position with the filler valve down for easier air checks later, tire was 15 psi low before filling - it's been a while.

This is a very thoughtful bit of info. Many people need this demonstration.

Much obliged my friend! You saved me, greetings from México!

[@jasongaudet8719]

These replacement tools are ridiculously expensive! Freaking insane how much people are asking for these. Just the bar alone is $60 on ebay.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Right! Shipping+ sellers fees+ e-bays cut then taxes its a wounder if people even bother.

[@jasongaudet8719]

and that's the cheapest one I could find, the kits are $70-$130 EVERYWHERE else short of going to my local junkyard or Lowe's and making one myself Lol

If you can get your phone or a small light up and into the spare tire underneath, it will light everything up and you can easily see the round insert. 👍

[@FixingWithPassion]

Word!

Thanks, we needed this!! Thumbs up!!

[@swavekbu4959]

Thanks for the video Nathan, very helpful . . . how likely is it that that wheel could fall off while driving? It seems very unlikely the way it is attached. Is that what the chain is for, so if ever something does go wrong, the chain will prevent the tire from getting too far before the driver notices? I'm just trying to figure out what safety features are built into this so I can trust that the tire can't come off while I'm driving. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Chain is good as long as its good ;)

[@swavekbu4959]

@@FixingWithPassion Okay, thank you. :-)

I love Az!

[@brendabrinkerhoff1363]

Watching from Utah. I just bought a 2000 Nissan Xterra. Does the tire come off the same way?

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

Awesome thank you!

[@billh1983]

Good video. I have already figured it out but good confirmation. Just got my 2002 XTERRA and fixing all the little things. Got anything on the lights and electrical?

[@ryanwallace4686]

Thank you!

[@Joshoptimus]

That does seem backwards not surprised ordinary non mechanical people usually get things like that wrong. It probably would have prevented a lot of that rust on the wheel. The painted side was facing up

[@tedmalabey4542]

You squirt the oil from the button?

[@jpaine619]

You'd have a lot better luck finding that lowering assembly if you shine the light up from the bottom down by the spare tire and shine the light up then you don't get the reflected glare coming back in your eyes

[@zew1414]

Oh and the spare rim will probably be rusted and stuck onto the flange. Just give it a nice tap and it will break loose.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Drop~

[@Newman81964]

At least it isn't like my trailblazer. On my trailblazer, to drop the tire down, you have to crank it up as tight as you can to drop the tire. It has a safety catch that you have to crank it up as tight as you can to release the safety and then can drop it. When I first got the Trailblazer, I went to get the spare tire out when it got a flat and was unable to get the safety to release. I had to get up under the vehicle with a angle grinder and cut the part you crank off and then go under the tire and cut off the piece that supports the tire on the cable. I ended up running around with the spare tire inside the vehicle for 2 years and just recently replaced the spare tire carrier. I turned the cable all the way out and sprayed it with white lithium grease and turned it back and and out a couple to times and then mounted the carrier under the vehicle and put the spare tire back on it and cranked it up.

[@jamisonheyde2471]

Anyone know where to get a new rod?

[@FixingWithPassion]

O my! Try E-bay.

[@juanmonzon1043]

Just put some hair around the hole and you find faster 🤣

[@vermontvermont9292]

Grab that rod and slid it in folks.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Hope its tight!
