If you have a left-wall or floor-mounted spare tire, the tire must be
removed
in order to have access to the jack storage.
TO Remove the Side-Mounted or Floor-Mounted Spare Tire
Reach into your tire's
cover and unscrew the
wingnut at the center
of the wheel. Remove
it and the retainer.
Unhook the tire from
the mounting bracket
and remove the cover.

being changed. Put
your spare tire near
the flat tire.
Hub Caps And Wheel Nut Caps
You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel
nuts.
I --
If you have individual
wheel nut caps that
cover each nut, they
must be removed in
order to get the wheel
nuts. Use the socket
end
of the wheel
wrench to remove the
wheel nut caps.
Your wheel nut caps may attach your hub cap to the wheel. Remove these
wheel nut caps before you take
off the hub cap.
If you have just an aluminum or plastic molded hub cap, pry it off with the
chisel end of your wheel wrench.

Using the wheel wrench, loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove them
yet.
