We have the Toyota part the screws into a pre-existing threaded hole. We had to have the shaft shortened and threaded because the wheel is inverted to contain the items depicted in the video., and the shaft was too long. The plastic handle snugs into the large hole of the wheel when it is tightened. You can see the "hold down part" and the threaded hole in the thumbnail image.
I had the opposite problem! The retainer for my spare tire was too short for my full sized spare. The hard part for me was determining the diameter & thread pitch of the bolt I needed. I was lucky to find a retainer on Amazon that fit. I also got a pinch weld protector, something I never knew about before.

Great video. I wasn't considering a Corolla hybrid because it doesn't have a spare. But now I might. 50 mpg city is pretty sweet.
Love the choice of background music
My Father was playing the clarinet.
Great video, love your process
Thank you for watching. I hope some of the content is useful for you.
Thank you.
Nice job!!! Very clear explanation, well illustrated. How about doing some web site python programming videos??? 😋😋😋😋😋😋
Thank you. I don't usually have time for video production these days.
Well done. What is holding the full size spare down when it's in the car?

What scissors jack did you get? Fits the jack point perfectly.

Why not replace tire on scissor jack?
Trust. I was willing to pay for the extra stability and peace of mind.
