XF EDDIE 165 Posted January 21 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 9,295 Posted January 21 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. 2 XF EDDIE and deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XF EDDIE 165 Posted January 21 I feel like this should be simple but its got me stumped This is the correct bracket right? 1 SPArKy_Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
