Tools Needed: 9/16” socket wrench or and adjustable wrench The Hollywood Spare Tire Rack comes fully assembles from the factory, and set up for “center mounted” spare tires.

The “side” attachment strap goes around the tire and prevents rotational movement. The two “rear” straps pass behind the tire and keeps the rack tight and secure against the front of the spare tire.

Side Buckle (not shown) Main Frame Rear Buckles1. If the Spare tire on your vehicle is side mounted, go to instruction step 7

2. Place the rear brace around the spare tire (loosen adjustment bolts if necessary), then snug the

adjustment bolts up using the wrench. Do not over-tighten!

3. Wrap the side strap around the bottom of the tire as shown in fig. 1 & 2 and attach to side buckle.

4. Thread the two rear straps around the back of the tire and attach to the two rear buckles located on the

bottom of the main frame.

5. Tighten all three straps and buckles securely.

6. Push up on the spring loaded bicycle support arm. Rotate the arms outward . Arms should drop into slot

in a locked position when carrying the bikes, and remain in a folded position when not in use.

7. Side Mounted Spare Tires: Locate the two bolts connecting the support bar to the main frame. Using

the attached hex key and adjustable wrench, loosen and remove the bolts from the rack. Re-position support bar either left or right depending on your vehicle. Re-insert the bolts through the main frame and support bar and tighten nuts securely. Return to step 1.

Mounting Bikes to the rack: With the support arms in the outward locked position, mount the first bicycle into the bike cradles and pull the strap snugly over the frame. The handlebars should be on the passenger’s side of the car. Rotate the bike’s pedal arm so the pedal will not be in contact with the car’s body or tire. Be sure the wheels are at least 12”/30cm from the exhaust pipe, and that the wheels can clear a steep driveway. Mount the second bike into the cradles and secure with rubber strap. Handlebars should be on the driver’s side of the car. Use the included safety/tie down strap to secure the bike(s) to the rack by wrapping the strap through the bike’s frame and through the rack.
