Video tutorial

In this video we see the suggestion of a professional, a road assistance worker, on how to release the spare wheel of a Ford Transit Connect, to free it from the final trolley. The wheel is located under the van and is held by two cables.

To release it, you need to remove the cap that supports the cable, which must be passed through a small channel, difficult to explain in words, but clearly visible in the video. You press a button and the cable comes out of its hole, thus releasing the tire that can be installed.

If you are unable to release this cable, the tire remains attached to the cable and there is no way to free it.
