Space saver spare inflator
I have an 86 Iroc with the space saver spare,that came with the tire inflator. The label is peeled off,so I have no directions on how to inflate the spare. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Also, can you air up spare like a normal tire,with a valve stem,or does these spares not have one? Thanks!!!

Re: Space saver spare inflator
most just let you screw in the tank and it will inflate. look at the screw in part and it should have a fitting opposite to the tire itself allowing filling the tire, like a gas station hose.

Re: Space saver spare inflator
You can inflate the space saver spare with regular air (30PSI is max). The cylinder can also be refilled with compressed air (try a dive shop or fire ext. place). I have only used my spare once in 22 yres and I had AAA road service fill it for me when I had a Flat.

Re: Space saver spare inflator
I looked long and hard to put all the spare tire pieces back together.



IIRC the label on the inflator says to use it just like any air pump, put it over the valve and push. It also says they have to be refilled at a GM dealer! (Yeah right) and are charged with C02.

You can see the valve on the collapsible spare in this pic.

Re: Space saver spare inflator
In general full size (inflatable) spares were for posi equipped cars.The smaller(inflated) was for open differential rear ends.
