Durango Spare Tire Access
The Steelman 96096 slotted square head tool is designed for Dodge Durango owners who need to lower a cradle-suspended spare tire. It reaches the hoist mechanism through restricted access points where standard lug wrenches cannot fit. This 30-inch carbon steel rod enables roadside tire changes without removing interior panels or cargo.
Simple Socket Engagement
Insert the slotted square head into the hoist and turn with a 7/8-inch socket on a 1/2-inch drive ratchet, combination wrench or tire iron. The black powder coat covers the hex drive end for quick visual identification in low light. No special adaptors are required, but the tool only works on vehicles equipped with this specific hoist style.
30-Inch Reach Length
The 30-inch length is the critical dimension that determines whether the rod reaches the hoist from the rear access hole. Measure the distance on your Durango before purchasing; shorter or longer rods will not engage properly. This tool does not fit vehicles with internally mounted spares or different hoist configurations.
