Spare wheel

Post by Debs and David » Thu Apr 01, 2010 6:40 pm

David wants to know how to get the spare wheel off. Do you have to go through the floor and is it supposed to be a space saving wheel?

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Tools should be in the locker thingy on your side step. The long rod is clipped to the top so if you can't see it, feel for it.

Long rod and short bar make up the wheel removal kit

Insert rod and bar into hole as shown (may be somewhere else on the newer Bongos but principal is the same - is yours newer?)

Image

And wind to lower wheel.
