Spare tire carrier removal
 

Hey all!
I'm planning a trip to the junkyard tomorrow, and I was thinking about getting a spare tire carrier and fitting it to my blazer. I have no clue whatsoever as to what I need to take one off. Any help with what tools I need would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
BTW, I have a 97 blazer four door

torx set,and a drill.


torx for what comes off,drill for the torx screws that doesnt. 99% of the time you will have 2-3 that will strip. walk around and find a few if you do strip some. If they are the same as first gen,ive got some for ya.

A T47 or T50(both fit) and a T25 torx bit if I recall.

I pulled a couple off and all the bolts have come out easy(maybe different climate).

Is that all the stuff needed to take off both the actual gate and receiver thing that goes on the tailgate?

Yup that's all you should need!
