How Do I Remove A 36 Spare Tire Cover?
Just bought a 36 Tudor. I have the key for the spare tire cover lock but it does not seem to release anything. Can someone tell me the step by step to removing the lock and cover to access the spare? Thanx.....Burly

Remove the spare tire tread cover first then turn the key in the lock and the unit will pull off.

1934, Doug, is the spare tire outer cover just "tensioned" around the tire with no other retainers? I see a loop on the lower right end.

Yes, just expand it from the bottom using that loop as a finger hold and carefully remove it from your spare tire. Now you can unlock the face cover and pull it off.

Be careful when removing the outer ring. It is somewhat awkward and you can easily scratch the paint, and it looks like you have a nice paint job. I know others who carry a spare in the trunk just to avoid this.

Re: How Do I Remove A 36 Spare Tire Cover?
If I remember correctly. you have to push in while unlocking spare. Does my somewhat feeble mind serve me well?

Re: How Do I Remove A 36 Spare Tire Cover?
All I know is JM35 and I had to figure it out while driving someone else's car. I think there was a spring that looped over a hook on the bottom to hold the outer ring on. Once that was off the key let us remove the face cover. We needed to borrow a jack from the family eating lunch in their mini van.

Crazy stuff always happens with me. You just make it crazier.
