underneath the rear of the truck - lets down with a crank
The 2002 Ford Explorer XLT came with P235/70R16 tires from the factory. Check the sticker on the end of the driver's door - it will indicate the tire size and recommended inflation pressure for your Explorer (Helpfull)
If you have your manual it will show not to change tire size as it changes the stability of the vehicle
Tire size: P245 70/R16 for Eddie Bauer or Limited P235 70/R16 for XLS and XLT
You can view the 2002 Ford Explorer owners manual online at motorcraftservice Click on Owner Guides ( the " changing the tires " section starts on page 237 , it has instructions with drawings )
On a 1999 Ford Explorer ( using the factory jack ) Front tire ( there are " hooks " on the front of the lower control arms ) Rear tire ( under the axle tube , below the leaf spring )
If it's not in a spot, which is really convenient to the spare, or new tire, then just keep it stowed in the back.
pay someone else to do it
I believe the Explorer does NOT use a timing belt, but rather a timing chain
You can change the light bulb by this method.
On a 2007 Ford Explorer : ( NO ) the spare tire does not a sensor for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS )
you mean if you put on the spare? or if you buy a single new tire? both should be ok if there the correct size.
