order shown, to 135 Nm (100
lb-ft). Note that these tightening

and rust. Use only Mazda
recommended (1/2–20)
replacement fasteners.
11. Stow the flat tire. Refer to Stowing the spare tire.

to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very little effort,
take the vehicle to your dealer for assistance at your earliest
convenience.

any time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other
components.
