Mercedes-Benz Vito Spare Tire Removal Tutorial?

Mercedes-Benz Vito spare tire removal tutorial: Open the rear door, locate the rubber plug near the middle-right edge of the floor next to a screw; insert the iron rod into the hole and attach the one-way rotation wrench; to prevent tool instability and reduce shaking, hold the iron rod with one hand while using the one-way wrench with the other hand to loosen; after the tire is fully on the ground, loosen it another four or five turns, then pull out the spare tire by hand; remove the rotating iron bar sideways, and the spare tire can be taken off. Extended knowledge about spare tires is as follows: 1. Definition of a spare tire: A "spare tire" originally refers to a backup tire prepared for a car. In case a wheel has a flat or other issues, the spare tire can promptly replace it, preventing the car from breaking down midway. 2. Spare tires should not participate in tire rotation: Specialized shops have strict requirements for tire rotation, and spare tires are even less suitable for rotation. Tire rotation is meant to balance wear on different parts, and it is no longer recommended to rotate tires left and right. Front-to-back rotation also has issues with uneven wear. Since spare tires have different wear patterns, involving them in rotation increases safety risks. 3. Spare tires are not for long-term use and inherently pose safety hazards: Spare tires are actually for emergency use, not for long-term use. Regardless of their width, manufacturers have special production and usage requirements for spare tires. Because spare tires are not regularly used on the car and have no wear, a tire with no wear is different from one that is heavily worn. Using a spare tire on the car inherently carries certain safety risks.
