We were in a hurry changing a flat and didn't pay attention how the jack went back into place. Thank you for making such a clear, concise video. Much appreciated.

[@PYR-Auto]

You're welcome! Glad it helped

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

Thanks for making such a straightforward video without trying to be a funny man or self-promoter. Saved me a bunch of time.

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome! Glad it helped

Im thinking about buying a 2003 Ranger similar to this one. Ive changed tires on trucks before but never on a Ranger so i was glad to see the tools are easy to use and access
Easy, informative instructions and dude didn't hesitate to lay on the dirty garage floor and get his clothes messy. That was awesome.

[@MrMilhouze]

I love how you sometimes need a real specific information and there is always a CZcams video of it to save you from disassembling your whole car ! Thank you stranger from the internet !

[@PYR-Auto]

You're welcome!

[@chrishoover2681]

Thank you so much for this. Such a simple video but it gave me exactly what I was looking for. I'm no mechanic by any means but I needed my spare down. I have a 2001 ranger and I swear that spare been up there for all of them 22 years. It came down with ease thanks to you and your video and just wanted to show my appreciation. Granted my rim and tire look like shit lol but it'll do to get me back home.

[@PYR-Auto]

Glad it helped

[@stanleysantos8422]

Thank you, kind sir. I figured it was gonna be a pain in the ass to get my spare from under my truck, but Ford made it easy with the crank rod to lower/raise the spare. Thanks again for your help!!

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@theia1653]

It wouldn't make sense for it to twist off or be secured by lug nuts cause it can come loose or be hard to get and risk falling on you.

[@beautiful_home5]

Great instructions. I decided it might be good to figure this out incase AAA wasn’t available. I’m hoping for a video on changing the tire.

[@Pillsburydopeboy]

Had my 2006 Ranger for a year and thankfully I haven't needed to change out a tire for the spare. If I did, I would have had no idea, until now! Great quick video.

[@ApocalypitcDoom]

P0q0 . Hb

[@stevenwolfgang2744]

Wouldn't it make sense to have the wheel in the carrier with the valve stem pointed downward (rather than toward the underside of the truck bed) so that the tire pressure can be checked/adjusted more easily?

[@alang7938]

You saved my ass I was totally screwed and it’s -25 here it would have been bad if I couldn’t get that tire off. Thanks

[@PYR-Auto]

You’re Welcome! Glad it helped

[@99rcr]

[@davecoppenrath]

Lucky me just bought a ranger recently 01 and all that stuff is missing from behind the passenger seat yay!

[@Ricklyplinth]

How intentionally small the entry for the hooked end to catch is wild.

[@user-jy2sj4ed4i]

Thanks for the concise info. Unfortunately I don't have those tools anymore haha

[@vincegonzalez7249]

Do you just put the piece back in place to take the part that holds the tire back in place and turn the opposite way around.?

[@helciomaia2776]

Obrigado amigo, curto e direto ao ponto.
E parabéns por compartilhar com a gente seu conhecimento e seu tempo.👏👏👏

Mine’s a 2007 Mazda B2300. It has a locked cap over the rod intake hole that has seized up. The key wont turn. I’ve sprayed WD40 in it and had it soak awhile but still can’t unlock it. Any advice?

Where to put the Jack to lift up on a ford ranger 2008?

[@lm_yt9431]

Good video it is greatly appreciated 👍🏻

[@PYR-Auto]

Thanks!

[@abominablesnowman646]

I bought a old ranger and went to check the spare just to find it didn’t have the tools

[@salinagrrrl69]

Thank you

[@PYR-Auto]

You're welcome!

[@CharlesReece-nr2wr]

I have a 2011 Ranger the hook does not work you have to use the square end. Had a hard time until I looked close with a light to see the connection...glad it was not on a dark night. Great vid.

[@Corvus-it3dj]

Me and my friends were sitting with the manual trying to figure out why the hook wasn't working.
I got your comment on one bar, and it worked no problem. Thanks

[@PYR-Auto]

Good Tip!

[@ronwilleman7584]

on my 2007 Ranger the flat end of the one extension tube will not fit. I had to use the open square end on another extension tube and it fit perfectly.

[@PYR-Auto]

good tip!

[@johnpickens7626]

Gonna try that later thanks

[@Dezireerb7]

Thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@steveu235]

How easy is it when you have a flat and its almost touching the ground?

[@sherristruck3468]

Where is spare tire wrench on 1998 chevy extended cab

[@shakamuni01]

That dinky little jack is long enough to lift the truck up high enough to change the tires??

[@jubalvw3302]

I have to use a 2x4. Sometimes a concrete cinder block 😅

[@raymondmurinda9424]

Can i actually fit in a meg Rim underneath there or it will only have to be a normal steel rim with a tyre

[@PYR-Auto]

do you mean a mag rim? that shouldnt be an issue

[@NeryElsalvador]

Thqnks

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@JShow99]

Mine is stripped, what am I supposed to do?

[@meadow-4296]

yeah i feel like i have the same problem. don’t know when these comments will be seen, but it took way more effort just to lower the hook

[@PYR-Auto]

If the mechanism completely stripped or rusted it may need to be replaced - sometimes the Cable needs to be cut in order to get the tire down

[@TheSilverblade41]

this design is absolute BS
