Toyota Hilux Vigo 2013 Tire change Kit location?

[sup3r1or]

Morning everyone,

I changed tires on sedans before but never on the trucks. Today woke up to find a flat tyre on My Hilux Vigo. During work break I need to go back and change it to spare. Can anyone tell me where the kit is located?

In most pickups it's behind the rear seat. Usually a pull tab on the top to release the locking clip and drop the seat forwards.

Need to check again when I come home during my break. Last time I checked couldn't find anything. Should pull tab be under the seat, bottom or top?

I don't have a Vigo, but on the Ford the pull tab is in the centre top of the rear backrest, pull it upwards and the seat back drops forwards revealing the jack etc.

Under the back seat of the Vigo is a small compartment with the kit, to find it is the easy part. Then you need to search the crank hole in the back and use the two part crank to turn it in a counter clockwise fashion to lower the tire.

It`s a Pita, first time I did it in the midday heat on the motorway.

I took me something like 45 min and I was pretty dirty afterwards.

Changing a tire on a sedan is a lot easier!

Since that time I have a small 12v compressor, whenever I have a small puncture I try to refill it first to get to the next tire shop for a repair...

It's UNDER the rear seat. Pull the strap to release the seat lock, lift the seat and two flaps can be seen, look inside.......

Found the kit got spare out. Guys cant take off tire cover. It says in manual use wrench slide in and push opposite way to get it off. 20 mins trying not coming off.

This bloody grey cover

There's nothing there you need to take off except for the lug nuts.

Your truck has mag wheels, no need to remove a cover unless it's a basic truck with rims and wheel covers instead of mags.

* you're obviously not a car guy, but get ready for the snide remarks to come from some of the guys.

You have the wheels in the third diagram with a centre trim that pops out.

Not sure if you need to remove it to get the nuts off, but your spare won't have it and you won't get the old wheel into the spare carrier with it still fitted.

IMPORTANT The nuts undo in an anticlockwise (counter clockwise) direction, turn the other way to tighten. Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Actually it was a long-wheelbase Transit with the lorry / truck type wheels. I was having one h3ll of a time getting my front left wheel off, a mate wandered past and just said 'left hand side, left hand thread'.

Grrrrr! I'd spend a goodly time tightening the ruddy thing up

Thanks everyone for help. I removed the tire. I couldnt read Thai manual so it was confusing but yes this wheel doesnt seems to have a cover but when looking close looks like it does. Anyway after wife's trip yesterday 2 tires had bolts in them.

Got spare on, got to the shop and fixed it.

Does anyone know how much 4 wheel tire set will cost? Bridgestone or Dunlop

What do Wives/Daughter do then Chaps. Mine just shout in their Mobile for help !!.
