1. First use a 19mm socket or your lug wrench to remove the spare tire.


2. Place the base of your new bracket on the spare tire mounting bolts as shown.


3. Put the spare tire back in place with the bracket through the center of your spare wheel. Use a 19mm socket to tighten the lug nuts holding on the spare tire.


4. Next, install the removable part of your new bracket in the desired position. I chose to install it upside down to center the license plate in the spare tire. Insert the quick removal pin and secure it as shown.


5. Last install your license plate and any lights you will be installing. If using the supplied hardware for your license plate, tighten using 10mm and 8mm sockets.

Note: If you are moving your license plate here check your local laws. You will most likely at least need a light for your license plate at night.
