Ford Transit Connect (2016 year). Manual — part 61

2. Slide the wheel partially under the

vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cables to
align the components at the end of the
cables.

3. Attach the second cable by screwing

the bolt into one of the holes in the
wheel.

4. Turn the end of the first cable so it fits

through the slot and install the cable.
Then slide the cap over the retainer.

5. Turn the jack handle clockwise to raise

the tire to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly when the tire is raised to
the maximum tightness. Tighten to the
best of your ability.

6. Check that the tire is flat against the

frame and is fully tight. Try to push or
pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will
not move. Loosen and retighten, if
necessary. Failure to properly stow the
spare tire may result in failure of the
winch cable and loss of the tire.

7.

Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure
(every six months, per scheduled
maintenance information), or at any
time that the spare tire is disturbed
through service of other components.

Return the jack and tools to the storage
position in the cargo area.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners

that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.
