You might want to invest in some jack stands. Also, there's a bolt under the front that's pretty much the center and you can lift there to get the entire front end off the ground.

And a 2007 spare has a different bolt pattern than a 2016 and won't fit your hub. 2000-2007 was one generation (Mercedes) and 2008-2018 was the next generation (Chrysler). Hubs arw different sizes

Can you believe this set up to retrieve a spare, and then to crank it back..
@dalesworld13084 жыл бұрын
Just bought a used 2019 and went looking for the jack - I had a tire pump. My van didn't come with a spare OR jack OR lugnut tool....I'm not sure I could even keep a spare under there if the van wasn't originally equipped.

Same here...we just bought the whole spare tire kit and winch. Now I’m looking how to install it on the vehicle. Can’t believe they sell cars with no spare tires, jacks, winches, etc...they would rather you get an extra MPG than useful equipment.

Did you have to install the winch..? and how is this connected to the crank under the console.. Thanks.. Any details on this project will be much appreciated

You might be able to use a 12 point socket to turn the square end of the tire holder - do you know what size it takes?

Why doing hard way you don’t need to use jack only you need extensions and pice of plastic comes with jack set does extensions exactly fit on your screw and you need to tight all the way till click there times then it’s safe.

I have a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan and I'm facing the same problem. The only spare tire I could find at the junkyard is out of 2010 Chrysler T&C . So do you think its gonna fit ? note : my 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is stow n go
@asianmechanicguy64833 жыл бұрын
not sure but i suggest you to fit it ur car before you buy it
@williamwhitman6874 Жыл бұрын
And if your car didnt have a spare, it also may not have the mechanism that holds the spare in. I bought a 2010 and was flabbergasted to find that Chrysler had made a spare an option. Those cheap bastards. But the thing that raises and lowers the spare is part of the option. I took the one off my 2003 caravan but you will have to buy it from the dealer, a junkyard or Parts Geek.

1. Never get a tire on a junkyard 2. Get all your tools out BEFORE you start lifting the car 3. Don’t lift the car more that an inch (in your case you lifted it out like 2 feet’ jajajaj ja) 4. Don’t use “third party tools” instead the ones factory included” 5. To being honest after I saw all that I stopped watching your video, I didn’t know if the rest was ok. Anyway, I tell you this because of your own and your vehicle safety
