Trying to do so without the proper tools risks:
* Injury: The spare tire is heavy; dropping it could cause serious harm.
* Damage to the vehicle: Improvised methods could damage the vehicle's undercarriage, the spare tire itself, or the mounting mechanism.
* Failure to remove the tire: You could become stuck without a spare.
Always use the proper tools. Consult your owner's manual for the specific instructions and tools required for your Dodge Ram model. If you don't have the tools, find someone who does or call roadside assistance.
