How to Extract the Spare Wheel from a Mercedes Vito

The spare wheel of a Mercedes Vito is located underneath the vehicle, just below the rear boot. This video demonstrates how to extract the wheel from its compartment. First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper. Insert the spanner and attach the extension to allow you to turn it and lower the wheel from under the floor. Finally, detach the pin that allowed the wheel to lower and proceed to extract it from under the vehicle.
