2021 FORD F-450 spare tire

F-350 Dual Rear Wheel Vehicles
Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench,
replace the flat tire with the spare, making
sure the valve stem of the spare is facing
outward when replacing a front wheel. For
the rear wheel position on vehicles with
single rear wheel fitments, install the spare
with the valve stem facing outward. For
vehicles with dual rear wheels, the valve
stem of the spare must face outward when
replacing an inner wheel, but must face
inward when replacing an outboard wheel.
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.
Lower the vehicle completely by turning
the jack handle counterclockwise until the
vehicle is completely lowered. Note:
For F-350 Dual Rear Wheel, F-450
and F-550 Vehicles, insert the notched end
of the jack handle to the release valve, open
the release valve slightly by turning the
handle counterclockwise. Stop turning the
release valve when vehicle start to lower.
Make sure to close the valve when you
completely lower your vehicle.

Stowing the Flat Tire or Spare Tire
1. Place the tire on end with the valve
stem facing toward the front of the
vehicle. Lay the tire on the ground, near
the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up. 2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. If equipped, you may
have to remove the wheel center cap
prior to pushing the retainer through
the center of the wheel. To remove the
center cap, press it off with the lug
wrench tip from the inner side of the
wheel. Pull on the cable to align the
components at the end of the cable.
3. Turn the lug wrench clockwise until the
tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The wrench
will become harder to turn and the
spare tire winch will ratchet or slip
when the tire is raised to maximum
tightness. You will hear a clicking sound
from the winch indicating that the tire
is properly stowed. Check that the tire
lies flat against the frame and is
properly tightened.
4. Carefully place all tools back in the tool
kit bag.
5. Reinstall the tool kit bag and tighten the wing nut.
6. Properly reinstall the jack into the bracket and tighten the wing nut.
