The spare tire on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe does not have to be removed to install or use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75471, provided that it is the factory spare and not a larger one that was added later. I have included a link to the installation instructions. You will see that installation of this hitch is a 2 step process.
I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation and it will be the same on your Santa Fe. You will see that put the hitch in place without moving or even touching the spare tire.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, if the vehicle does not have a tow package, use # 118415. If it does have a tow package use # 118258. I have included links to the installation details for both wiring harnesses for you.
