Since my D5 has now done approx 30K, thought it was time to do a wheel rotate, balance & align.
thought I would take out the spare & get them to use this tyre in the rotate.
What a JOB, trying to rotate the buckle holding the wire rope and lowering the spare.
Question + has anyone run up some type of adaptor which can go on a drill so u can lower the tyre a lot easier. ????
Seem to remember here in Perth one of the 4WD shops came up with an adaption, for the D3 & D4, where u could
lower the spare, with a drill, from a fitting behind one of the rear road tyres.
Seems to make sense rather than taking out your camping gear from the back & then lifting the lid to get to the spare buckle.
Any thoughts. ????
Cheers Tom.
