When you open the tailgate you will see a small opening in the panel running along the bottom just above the bumper. The crank that came with your jack under fits into that hole about 18 inches or so until it stops. Turn to the left and crank the spare down to the ground. Continue to crank a few turns to get some slack and you should be able to slide the spare out.

A spare tire on a 2002 Ford Ranger can be found on the underside of the rear of the truck. The tire can be removed with a ratchet.
I had this problem with my spare. If you have turned the crank to lower the tire and nothing happens STOP. I did this and borke the plastic that covers the coil of wire! Get out another jack and jack up the center of the spare. It has a safety on it that will lock the spare in the event of a cord failure. Jacking up the center of the spare tire will release it. Just make sure your no where near it if it falls off the jack. Oh and if this doesn't work right away STOP JACKING IT UP!!!!
To get the spare tire off a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder you should insert the long rod into the hole in the trunk. Push the long rod down and turn it. Once it catches you can lower the tire down. The rod and tools that you need are under the back seat of your vehicle.
To lower the spare tire you need to some tools and a jack. There is a cable winch holding the spare in place, so you will have to loosen it using your tools.
The cannister on my 2002 F150 is located just inboard of the spare tire. If you lower the spare tire it will be easier to access. The EVAP solenoid is also located on top of the cannister. Have fun and don't work to hard. Richard Petty.
2. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the spare tire. Keep turning the wheel wrench until the spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle. If the spare tire does not lower to the ground, the secondary latch is engaged causing the tire not to lower. See "Secondary Latch System" later in this section. When the tire has been completely lowered, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the wheel opening. Pull the tire out from under the vehicle. Notice: If you drive away before the spare tire or secondary latch system cable has been reinstalled, you could damage your vehicle. Always reinstall this cable before driving your vehicle. 3. Put the spare tire near the flat tire. 4. Position the chisel end of your wheel wrench in the notch of the center cap and pry off the center cap. See "Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire" later in this section to continue changing the flat tire. 5-77.
If equipped with spare tire lock, attach key to crank. Open rear cargo doors. If a cover plate covers the hold for the spare tire winch, remove the cover plate. Insert crank into hole until it engages the winch, then turn counterclockwise. If it won't turn: The winch is broken (usually caused by corrosion.) Cut the cable holding the spare tire up to get the tire out of the way, then install a new spare tire winch.
