Today was the re-arrange the spare wheel and bumper jack assembly day! After I asked you guys howthe bumper jack hook should be stored I have wondered, checked out pictures on the Internet and talked with several sourches. This is the only way I can come up with;
1. The tire was placed upside down.
Agree.
2. Inside the wheel the bumper jack plate was stored at the bottom.
Agree.
3. On top of the plate was the hook stored.
Agree.
4. The masonite cover was placed on top of the tire.
Missed a step. The larger of the two wing nuts needs to go on first to clamp the tire, base and hook together.
THEN the masonite cover goes on.
5. The pressed center steel plate was placed in the center of the masonite and the small wing nut was added.
Yep, that's the final step.
This is my thoughts about this way;
First of all the hook can't be stored on the bumper jack.
Agree.
Second is that the plate can be stored under the upside down spare wheel but it can't be tightened down so it wouldn't rattle.
Yes, not meant to be there.
Third is that if the plate is stored at the bottom and the hook on top of it the bigger wing nut can\t be used. The rod is simply too short and there is no threads left for the wing nut.
Then you have the wrong rod. The rod should be long enough to accomodate the parts as you've indicated above including the larger wing nut below the masonite.
Any comments or pictures would gladly be appriciated so this can be solved once and for all!
