Bigneu Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Does anyone know how to remove the spare tire from a 1984 Dolphin? I have been to two tire stores and Camping World and no one knows how to get it off. Justin 1984 Dolphin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoprat Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Howdy Bigneu... If your Dlphin is like my Rader underneath, the spare tire is mounted beneath the rear of the rig behind the rear axle. The spare is on a cable that goes to a little winch mounted above the spare. You get to the winch by coming in the backside above the spare tire with one of the jack extensions, going into a socket on the winch . This sounds easy, but usually the MH manufacturer mounted the MH's rear bumper in line with the space needed to get to the winch operating socket. You may be able to use a 1/4 inch extension with a screw driver blade and a 1/4 inch rachet to reach into the winch socket and crank the spare down. Hope this is a help to ya..

bufbooth Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Be sure to spray the chain and racket device with WD-40, they are very prone to rust and getting gummy due to road dirt. Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
