2. The following steps are required to move the support bracket (if
equipped) away from the spare tire:
•With tapered end of lug wrench,
loosen the eyebolt on the support
bracket.
•Line up the eyebolt with the slot
in the support bracket.
•Slide the support bracket off the
eyebolt and move the support
bracket away from the spare tire.
3. Insert the hooked end of the jack
handle into the rear bumper
opening.
The handle will stop moving and
you will feel forward resistance to
turning when properly engaged.
4. Turn the handle counterclockwise
and lower the spare until you can
slide the tire rearward and the cable
is slack.
5. Remove the retainer through the center of the wheel.
Stowing the spare
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.
2. Slide the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer through the
wheel center.
3. Turn the jack handle clockwise
until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle. The
effort to turn the jack handle
increases significantly and the spare
tire carrier ratchets when the tire is
raised to the stowed position. The spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet
feature that will not allow you to overtighten.
4. Check that the tire lies flat to the frame assembly. Push against the
tire to make sure it is tightly seated under the vehicle. Loosen or
retighten if necessary.

5. Loosen each wheel lug nut
one-half turn counterclockwise but
do not remove them until the wheel
is raised off the ground.
When one of the rear
wheels is off the ground,
the transmission alone will not
prevent the vehicle from moving
or slipping off the jack, even if the
transmission is in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or R
(Reverse) (manual transmission).
To prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change the tire,
be sure that the parking brake is
set and the diagonally opposite
wheel is blocked.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.
The following steps apply to F250/F350 only:
6. Insert the hooked end of the jack
handle into the jack and use the

8. Turn the jack handle clockwise
until the wheel is completely off the
ground and high enough to install
the spare tire.
9. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
10. On single rear wheel vehicles,
replace the flat tire with the spare
tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward for all front tires and
vehicles equipped with single rear
wheels. If replacing an inboard rear
tire on a dual rear wheel vehicle,
the valve stem must be facing outward. If replacing the outboard wheel,
the valve stem must be facing inward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the
wheel has been lowered.
11. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
Go to step 19.
The following steps apply to F450/F550 only:
12. Slide the notched end of the
jack handle over the release valve
and use the handle to slide the jack

pump linkage.
15. Use an up-and-down motion
with the jack handle to raise the
wheel completely off the ground.
Hydraulic jacks are equipped

that prevents lifting loads which
exceed the jack’s rated capacity.
16. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
17. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem
is facing outward on all front an inboard rear wheels. If replacing the
outboard wheel, the valve stem must be facing inward. Reinstall the lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug
nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
18.
Lower the wheel by slowly turning the release valve counterclockwise.
Opening the release valve slowly will provide a more controlled
rate of descent.

The following steps apply to all vehicles:
19.
Remove the jack and fully tighten
the lug nuts in the order shown.
20. Stow the flat tire. Refer to
Stowing the spareif the vehicle is
equipped with a spare tire carrier.
21. Stow the jack, jack handle and
lug wrench. Make sure the jack is
securely fastened so it does not
rattle when driving.
22. Unblock the wheels.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to
the specified torque at 800 km (500 miles) after any wheel disturbance
(tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts
to the specified torque at 160 km (100 miles), and again at 800 km (500
miles) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (tire
rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts,
apply one drop of motor oil between
the flat washer and the nut. Do not
apply motor oil to the wheel nut
threads or the wheel stud threads.
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or
the surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor that contacts the wheel.
Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
