Removing the spare tire of a Toyota Alphard is actually not difficult. I've helped friends with it several times before, mainly accessing it from the spare tire compartment under the vehicle. First, park the car on a flat and safe surface, engage the parking brake, shift to P (Park), and place warning triangles just in case. Then locate the toolkit near the trunk area, take out the jack and wrench. The Alphard's spare tire is usually secured with bolts underneath the vehicle – use the jack to slowly raise the car to a suitable height, then loosen those fixing bolts (remember: counterclockwise turns loosen them). The spare tire is quite heavy, so it's best handled by two people or moved out using a trolley. When reinstalling, first check if the spare tire pressure is still adequate to avoid finding it flat during emergencies. It's recommended to inspect the spare tire compartment quarterly for any debris blockage and keep it dry to prevent rust, which helps extend its service life.
