How to Remove the Spare Wheel from a Ford Ranger

In this video, see how and where to find the spare wheel of the Ford Ranger. Behind the rear passenger seats, you will only find the kit needed to extract the wheel from its housing. Remove it by turning the safety knob, and attach the lever that will be used for this purpose. Next, take the safety key from the vehicle remote. This will be needed to unlock the latch located at the end of the load bed. Once the latch is opened, you can remove the metal square that allows access, using the bar you have attached, to the actual lock that will lower the spare wheel from its housing under the load bed. Replace the flat tyre with the spare and reverse all the steps taken so far to put everything back in place.
