Stowing the spare tire
[RE10730(ALL)05/95]1.
To raise the tire to the stowed position, lay the tire on the
ground with the interior side facing up. Install the retainer
through the wheel center and slide the tire under the vehicle.
Fit the hex-shaped end of the wheel lug wrench over the hex
nut in the floor of the cargo area. Turn the wheel lug
wrench clockwise until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle.

stowed position. It will not allow you to over-tighten.
