DefenderJay Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hi Guys. I purchased a bearmach swing away wheel carrier last year off eBay but didn't come with any instructions of how to fit. Has anyone fitted this type before? If so could I have some guidance please? It's the type that attaches to the rear door , xmember and rear panel.

Phil Wilson Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I fitted mine years and years ago to a vehicle I now don't own...but, from memory: - Fit it to the rear cross member with the uber-long bolts, - Drill the holes for the top mount - Bolt through top mount - Remove the back door card - Remove the plate with the old spare wheel mounts - Put in the white plate from the kit - Close the door and carrier and mark the holes on the new plate - Drill the holes and fit the bolts. - Done. Something like that. I definitely do, however, remember that the instructions were useless. So you're not missing too much. I remember finding a picture of someone else's fitted online, and basing my whole installation off of that. And somewhere I had to pad something out with my own washers!?!?!?
