Tire tool kit 07 Tundra limited crew max 5.7L

Yes I do

 

@TechWrench Once again thank you for all the information and advice. You aren’t raining on my parade. I view it as saving me frustration, time and potentially money.
I can’t say why the “new” spare tire hoist was purchased. Or if the purpose who purchased it knew the difference or even cared. It appears they didn’t as the part was never opened or installed.
What I do know is that the part came from Toyota.
I will look at the opening on the bumper above the license plate tonight. I measure how big the opening is. I’ll also update you on that. I’ll also check Toyota for the correct hoist mount.

 

@Tundra234 I grew up around mechanics to include my dad. While I may be limited in ability in certain areas what I can do myself I would prefer to. I enjoy it.

 

@Rock15t
Here is the link for the part number via the local Toyota dealership here in Denver. It says my specific truck in the link but the actual parts give the years for the Tundra.
I hope this helps.

That looks like the correct tool kit, it matches the set I have for my '08.

On my truck, you use both extensions, 09114, and wheel lug wrench, 09150 put together to make the crank assembly that is inserted through the hole in the end of the bed to reach the spare tire carrier and insert it into the square socket to raise and lower the spare.

The other extension, 09115, has a hook on the end. it is added to the other two extensions to create a longer crank tool, and the hook is designed to fit into an eye loop on the jack to make the jack go up and down. It is that hook extension end that I think is needed to turn the spare lift that you found in your truck, instead of the square end of the 09114 extension. If I am right, that hook will not fit into the access hole in the bed, so it can't be used on your truck, since the lift is mounted so high above the rear bumper, that the crank assembly could not reach the lift from underneath the bumper.

 

@TechWrench i have found the hoist and it’s just a little over a $100 through Toyota.

 

When I did my search, I found it at a lot of sources, some a bit cheaper, but most around that price. That, plus the tool kit, and you will be in business (once you remove the old one of course). Then you still need to get a spare to hang on it. One additional suggestion. before installing the new lift, unspool the cable and coat it with a lubricant grease, and respool it This will make it work easier, and protect the cable from rust. I try to re-coat mine about once a year.

 

@TechWrench thats great advice. I’ll make sure I do that.
I have a full size spare thank goodness. So, I’m good there.

 

I’m currently looking at having shop do it due to the timing I need it done in. The part would take me 4-10 business days to get through Toyota’s website. I need it done before next Friday. We’ll see if it happens or not.

 

OK, I feel like such an IDIOT. I must apologize to you and others that have read my attempts to assist you. I just came from actually looking at my truck, again, and realized that some of the info I have been putting out was incorrect. Not that it is an excuse, but some of the information I posted, was based on my previous experience with 4Runners, and it does not directly apply to the Tundra.

The opening in the back of my Tundra bed is actually a rectangular opening, about 2 inches wide by 1 inch high. More that enough opening to fit the hook end of the tool set into to reach the spare lift mechanism. The lift you found in your truck should work with the hook end of the tool, so no need to get another one. And if you do not choose to get the add on security kit, you don't have to. All you should need to do is remove the damaged one, and install the new one. And get a spare tool kit.

I hope this corrected information get to you in time to keep you from ordering parts you don't need.

Again, sorry for my screw up. I will try to do better in the future.

 

@TechWrench Thank you so much for clarification. I haven’t purchased any new parts of set any appointments. So, there’s nothing to worry about. You have been extremely helpful. I absolutely appreciate it.
I have a guy at work that is going to attempt to break the bolts free for me tomorrow. If he can, then I’ll be installing the spare tire hoist myself this weekend. I’ve lubricated the bolts yesterday and today.
The shops are insane for what they want to replace this mechanism so it’s up to me to do it. I’ll post pictures of the progress as I can. Again, thank you for all of your help. Everyone!

 

@TechWrench a couple guys I work with tried today with the tools I have with me to get the bolts on the old mount out. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get the bolts to budge.

 

Not knowing what you have for tools, those type of bolts, with any serious rust, and their location makes it a difficult task. From my experience with the 4Runner, the access to the top of the bolt, above the crossmember is very limited. And, a coating of rust can make it difficult to get a good grip on any fastener. It will take a good set of 6-point box wrenches to get a grip on the top bolt, and a 1/2 inch ratchet set, also with 6-point sockets to try to break the lower nut loose. A good 1/2 inch air ratchet is a big help, but not everyone has access to one. In some cases, it takes an application of heat (MAP gas or propane) on the nut to help it break loose. If you don't have access to these tools, or know someone who does and has mechanical experience, then you may be forced to take it to a well equipped shop. I understand that option can be expensive, (that's why I do just about all my own auto repairs) but you already have the part, so you should only be paying for the time to remove the old one, and install the new one, plus new fasteners. I don't know what part of the country you hail from, but maybe a post asking for recommendations for mechanics in your area might yield some assistance.

 

@TechWrench i am having a friend of a coworkers remove the old spare tire mount today. He’s going to cut the old mount off and install the new mount for me for an inexpensive price. I’m heading to his place soon. Hopefully everything goes well.
In the future, I hope to have a different spare tire mount fabricated and mounted. One that does not utilize a cable system or require a tool to remove the spare tire. I’ll update ya once I’m back. Again, thank you for your continued help and information.

 

I hope all goes well with the removal and replacement of the spare carrier. If you do a search on it, I am pretty sure there are a few threads on alternative methods of mounting a spare on the vehicle. Given that it is a pick-up, your options are limited. In my situation, I have a hard shell cover over the bed, so mounting the spare in the bed isn't a good option for me. And I have seen several swing out bumper mounts, but my issue with them is having to move the spare out of the way every time you want to lower the tailgate. So, IMHO, as difficult as it is to use the factory spare storage system, it still seems to me to the the most practical solution especially considering how few times (if at all) that one actually has to use the spare. With modern tire construction, the likely event of a tire failure is very rare, unless you regularly drive in place where a puncture or tear is a real possibility. My last Toyota, an '03 4Runner, I acquired from a friend. It had 235k on it, and he was the original owner. When I pulled the spare down to check it, I found it was the original spare, and had never been on the road in the 13 years he owned it. I have been very fortunate, or lucky, that in the last 20 some years, I have never had to resort to using a spare. Your situation may be different, so you have to decide on the best solution for you.

What ever you finally decide, I hope it works for you. Good luck.

 

@TechWrench I too believe the current location of where the spare is currently located is the best solution. What I’ve drawn up for a replacement would be in the same location. In time, I may have something made. Currently, it’s just on my list.
I hope to never have to use the spare. However, as I mentioned in the beginning this truck is primarily for traveling and some hauling. Making sure the spare is good and easily accessed is something I want to ensure for my family.
I’m about to head to get this dang mount hopefully taken care of and then on to the next thing. Lol

 

@TechWrench old mount is off. New mount is on. The old mount did not have to be cut off. I’m happy to say this job is complete. On to the next.

 

Glad to hear it went well. And when you come up with a new idea for storing the spare under the bed, I would be interested is seeing what you come up with.

 

@TechWrench I will gladly share it with ya. I have it drawn up. I just have to find someone to fabricate it for me.

 

Hi do you still have this?

 

Didn’t realize you had already answered me, disregard my question as you can tell I’m going crazy trying to find those stupid accessories

 

Amazon has some I think.

 

Thank you again
