The spare wheel carrier for the Ford Transit is positioned underneath the rear of the vehicle and functions as a winch with a chain for lowering and raising the tire at the back of the van. Replacing it can be quite challenging. Initially, you must lower the tire and then crawl beneath the rear of the vehicle. From there, you should be able to locate the mounting bolts securing the system to the frame at the back of the van. Remove these bolts, detach the linkage to the lowering arms, and fully uninstall the carrier. Then, you can install a new one by following the reverse order of these steps.
