Spare tire key?

Hey guys just wanted to know if theres a "key" for the crank to let the spare tire down or do you just use the crank? this is for my 2000 Expedition.

Use the jack handle to crank the tire down.

Ok thanks I didnt know it was that easy because on my 2005 SD you need the "key" on the jack handle in order to get the spare down.

on trucks you need a key, because the you can put the tailgate down and access the spare ratchet without unlocking anything. On SUVs you don't need a key because you need to unlock and open the rear door to get to it.
