Tire, Spare, Carrier, Under Frame, F-150, F-250, F-350, F-350 Chassis Cab and F-Super Duty Chassis Cab

 WARNING: TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY DO NOT PLACE ANY PART OF THE BODY UNDER THE SPARE WHEEL CARRIER WITH MOUNTED SPARE TIRE DURING REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION.

The spare tire is stowed at the rear of the truck under the frame (standard location).

The tire valve stem is on the top side of the tire (except on dual rear wheel) to reduce the possibility of accidental valve stem air leakage through contact with mud, brush, snow, ice, or some other obstruction.

Removal

1. Insert the tang of the lug nut wrench through the spare tire retaining eyebolt eye and turn the bolt until the tire is sufficiently loose from the upper retaining support. To avoid a sudden drop of the tire, do not turn the end of the eyebolt out of the retaining nut.

2. Align the eye of the eyebolt with the spare wheel carrier slot.

3. While holding the nut end of the wrench parallel to the ground, insert the tang of the wrench into the spare wheel carrier tube. Lift up on the wrench and at the same time pull the eyebolt toward the tube and push on the wrench to pass the eyebolt shoulder through the spare wheel carrier keyhole.

4. Lower the spare tire assembly. Swing the spare wheel carrier to the rear of the vehicle and remove the wrench from the tube.

5. With the spare wheel carrier end on the ground, remove the wheel retainer from the center bolt. If necessary insert the tang of the wrench into retainer to provide additional leverage to loosen the retainer from the center bolt. On dual rear wheel use nut end to loosen retainer.

6. Remove the spare tire from the spare wheel carrier.

Installation

NOTE: Prior to F-350 and F-Super Duty chassis cab tire installation, make certain the spare tire guards are securely in position. Refer to the illustration in this section.

1. To replace the spare tire under the frame, center the tire on the spare wheel carrier with valve stem up. Face dual rear wheel offset down.

   • Shift the tire as necessary until it is balanced on the channel.
   • Install and tighten the retainer on the center bolt until the wheel is tight to the spare wheel carrier (19-26 Nm [14-19 lb-ft]). For dual rear wheels only, install retainer with offset face down. For F-Super Duty, install spare wheel mounting plate (1424) before installing retainer.
   • Wheel and tire must be centered on spare wheel carrier after tightening retainer.

2. Install the tang of the lug nut wrench into the spare wheel carrier tube and swing the spare wheel carrier under the eyebolt.

3. Lift the spare wheel carrier and insert the shoulder of the eyebolt through the keyhole. Shift the spare wheel carrier and eyebolt until the shoulder of the eyebolt is pushed all the way into the slot. Shoulder of eyebolt must be seated securely in keyhole.

4.  CAUTION: The eyebolt must be in vertical position after tightening to prevent possible channel separation or tire loss when the spare tire is loose in the spare tire carrier. Tire looseness is caused by air leakage or by insufficient tightening of the eyebolt when installing the spare tire (flat or inflated).

   Insert the tang of the wrench into the eyebolt and tighten the eyebolt until the wheel or wheel and tire is snug; then tighten spherical head bolt to 19-26 Nm (14-19 lb-ft).

5. Refer to the views in the following illustrations that show the proper position of the eyebolt after it has been tightened to secure the spare tire in stowage position.

Spare Wheel, F-250, F-350

When the wheel only (without tire) is ordered, it is located at the rear of the truck under the frame.

 CAUTION: The wood spacer is installed for shipment of the wheel only and must be removed when installing the tire.

After installing the wheel and tire in the carrying position, adjust the driver side spare wheel carrier ball and bolt and the eyebolt as necessary until the tire cannot be moved by hand pressure. Then tighten retainer bolt to 19-26 Nm (14-19 lb-ft).
