The spare wheel on a Volkswagen Transporter is located at the bottom of the vehicle, in the load area. To remove it from its housing, loosen the screws on the ends of the cross brace that secures the wheel.

Once these screws are loosened, detach the brace and remove the wheel. The spare wheel can now be used to replace one of the wheels on the vehicle; afterwards, reposition the removed wheel in the space previously occupied by the spare.
