Bronco Spare Tire Carrier Torque Spec?

[Bryan1995]

Just a quick question what is the torque spec for the rear spare tire when you are putting the tire back on? Is it 66lbs? I'm pretty sure it's not going to be 100lbs as main 4 wheels because it is going to be mounted on that plastic piece of the back hahaha.

anyone any thoughts???

Yes, 66 is correct.

I've been doing 41 because I found that on the link below. Do you know what the difference is?

Guys, i checked with online ford manuals for the bronco, if you go to the bronco part which says excluding raptor, it is 41 lb and for Raptor is 66.
So correct one is 41 for bronco and 66 for raptor models. Just one thing that i can't understand is that, 41 is for the bronco w sas pack wheels and tires or it's for the the ones with smaller tires hahahaha... again confusing.
@fordmotorcompany please let us know. What is the exact correct torque spec for sasquatch wheels and tires. (35s) please someone let me know

The workshop manual used to say 41. It appears they’ve updated the spec.

I’ve also used 41 for the last 23k miles even with 37 inch tire and had zero issues. So I don’t think it really makes a difference.

<-- been using 41 lbs

I asked the dealer and they have said, for bronco with sas and raptor, 66 is recommended and for smaller tire packages are 41

Just snug em up good they'll be fine. No need to be so technical it's a spare tire.
