STEP ONE
Lower spare tire for access to the winch mechanism mounted above the frame cross-member. Locate the threaded ends of the two winch mechanism mounting bolts which extend down through the frame cross-member. Install U-bracket over the threaded end of mounting bolt to the forward side of the winch cable. Position the U-bracket with the open side parallel to the frame cross-member, as pictured. Use the provided locknut to install U-bracket. STEP TWO Install the lock bar through the holes in both legs of the U-bracket, with the grooved end facing toward the right side frame rail. Place the crimp-ring retainer in the groove and crimp closed with pliers. STEP THREE Raise the spare tire while guiding the lower end of lock bar through the lug hole least obstructed by the winch cable retaining plate in the center of the wheel. The lock bar must remain vertical as the spare tire is raised to the full up/stored position. |
