I’m glad someone did make this video. I had the apparatus already fitted to my van but found it fiddly to attach the wheel. I wanted to confirm I was doing it right. I found it difficult to get the carrier through the centre hole. I think it helps to first tilt the wheel so it’s sort of 45° supporting it on a bit of wood or similar to undo the little securing bolt then remove the carrier through the hole. The air was blue before I worked it out. The video helped a lot. Thanks for sharing!

We had no issues at all and was pleased we didn't have to jack the van up as plenty of room underneath. Glad you got there in the end and our video helped. Happy travels and at least you have a spare if you get a puncture or blow out now.

We have a Kea 90/2 would like this on ours thanks for posting and showing us how its done.

Thank you! 😀 You will appreciate a spare tyre more, especially if travelling around Europe. Good luck with it.

Great video, looks like a simple job. I am converting a Fiat Ducato which has no spare wheel carrier so just ordered one from the same company.

Thank you! Yes, it was definitely easy enough to do so you should have no problem. Good luck with your van conversion.

So job done and for the benefit of others, I'd already had a tow bar fitted and encountered a couple of issues. The 1st one was that one of the brackets holding the winding mechanism to the chassis was fouling one of the strengthening plates added to the chassis for the tow bar. This was easily rectified by taking a small notch out. The other problem was that the plate also prevented me from inserting the wind down tool into the housing. The only way around this was to fix the bracket holding the winding mechanism with a single rather than 2 bolts which allowed it to pivot down just enough to insert the bar. While not ideal, the bracket is taking only the weight of the mechanism so very little in reality. It doesn't move when operating the winder so I'm comfortable it's secure enough.Hope this helps others. Got to get a wheel cover now. Can also recommend Halmerend

Good luck and hope you find it easy enough. When ordering the carrier from Halmerend, they supplied the bolts for mounting the wheel carrier but they didn't supply the bolts for the bit you would attach your spanner to when winding down the wheel, although it was all pre-drilled. We, therefore, purchased 3 x 100mm M8 nut bolts. Hope this makes sense?

@@Miles_and_miles2023 Thank you for coming back to me, I ordered the carrier from eBay. Haven’t received it yet, it’s a new one but it doesn’t show any bolts so I thought I’d get some so I’m ready. So far I’ve got 10 M8 x 20mm and will now get 3 M8 x 100mm. Thank you 🙏
