Anyone got a photo of the xf ute spare tyre retainer?

Recommended Posts

My ute came with the spare, jack and a wing nut but I cant figure out where it bolts to. There is no hole in the center for the nut and I cant find a photo on the web. A photo would be much appreciated

It threads onto a removable threaded bracket, that wedges against the tyre.

The wing nut threads onto the bracket in reverse, and is then tightened down against an opposing bracket, welded inside the wheel carrier - on the RHS.

 

XR-XG utes/vans all use the same bracket/nut.

I feel like this should be simple but its got me stumped

This is the correct bracket right?

 

That's it yes!

The loose threaded bracket, sits against the tyre, with the threaded end in the slotted hole of that welded bracket.

 

The wingnut winds on the thread upside down, so it tightens backwards against the outside of that welded bracket,

thus pushing the loose threaded bracket, against the tyre.

Thanks for that Ill give it a go when I get back from work

the bracket thing could be upside down in the pic,

if you can, take a photo when you try it and we might be able to have one on hand for future (its' the first time i've seen one.. usually there's a gas tank in my X series ute spare wheel space)
