How do you remove the spare of a 1999 ford explorer sport?

Answer 1

Lift the carpet in the cargo area and u will see 2 long rods. connect those and take the jack rod out of the compartment on the left side of your cargo area, and if u look in the middle of ur explorer right under where the rear hatch door closes u will see a hole. insert the rod into that hole and turn to u lock in and turn either direction until u notice the spare lowering. crank it a couple more time once the spare is on the ground so u have enough space to lift the tire up off of the guide wire. Revers the steps to raise the tire back up into place. hope all goes well
