Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: When one of the front
wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the
vehicle from moving or slipping off the
jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P). WARNING:
To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel. WARNING:
Do not get under a
vehicle that is only supported by a
vehicle jack. WARNING:
Do not attempt to
change a tire on the side of the vehicle
close to moving traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of being
hit when operating the jack or changing
the wheel. WARNING:
Always use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. WARNING:
Only use the spare
wheel carrier to stow the wheel provided
with your vehicle. Other wheel sizes
could cause the spare wheel carrier to
fail if it does not fit securely or is too
heavy.
Note: Do not use impact tools or power
tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
spare wheel carrier winch, which may cause
it to malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
Override the winch at least three times
(there is an audible click each time) to make
sure the wheel and tire fit securely.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers. 1.
Turn the engine off and block the wheel
that is diagonally opposite of the flat
tire using the wheel chock.
Note: Lock the manual hub on the wheel
if the vehicle is a 4x4.
2. Remove the jack, jack handle, lug wrench and spare tire from the
stowage locations.
3. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove
any wheel trim.

When installing the wheel center
ornaments, make sure that the ornament
retention towers on the back side of the
ornament are aligned with the studs or lug
nuts. The retention towers are designed to
be installed over the studs or nuts and
retain to the flange on the lug nut.
If the ornament retention towers are
aligned between the studs or lug nuts, the
ornament is improperly installed. This
improper installation may appear and
sound correct, but does not keep the
ornament on the vehicle. If the ornament
retention towers are aligned between the
studs or lug nuts, the ornament is
improperly installed. This improper
installation could appear and sound
correct, but will not keep the ornament on
the vehicle. Ornaments improperly
installed in this manner could fall off or
become loose due to driving conditions. F-350 Dual Rear Wheel, F-450 and
F-550 Vehicles

Jacking the Vehicle
1. Insert the jack handle into the pump
linkage.
2. Use an up-and-down motion with the jack handle to raise the wheel
completely off the ground.
Note: Hydraulic jacks are equipped with a
pressure relief valve that prevents lifting
loads which exceed the jack's rated
capacity.
3. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
4. Replace the flat tire with the spare, making sure the valve stem of the
spare is facing outward when replacing
a front wheel. For the rear wheel
positions, the valve stem of the spare
must face outward when replacing an
inner wheel, but must face inward
when replacing an outboard wheel.
5. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is
snug against the hub. Do not fully
tighten the lug nuts until the vehicle
has been lowered.
6. Lower the wheel by slowly turning the release valve counterclockwise.
Opening the release valve slowly
provides a more controlled rate of
descent. 7. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 417).
8. Stow the flat tire. See Stowing the flat or spare tire if the vehicle is equipped
with a spare tire carrier.

Installing Dual Rear Wheel Ornaments
1. Align the ornament with the lug nuts.
A is the clip and B is the flange. 2. Hold the ornament so that all of the
retention clips are sitting on the flange
of the lug nuts. 3. Use your hand or rubber mallet to tap
the ornament in a star pattern. There
should be an even gap between the
ornament and the wheel.
4. Be sure to install all the clips on the nuts over the flanges so that there is
an even gap all around and the
retention clips are fully seated. Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Note:
Failure to follow spare tire stowage
instructions may result in failure of cable or
loss of spare tire.
1. Place the tire on end with the valve stem facing toward the front of the
vehicle.

2. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
3. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.
4. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when the tire is raised to the maximum tightness. Tighten to
the best of your ability, to the point
where the ratchet/slip occurs, if
possible. The spare tire carrier does not
allow you to overtighten. If the spare
tire carrier ratchets or slips with little
effort, take the vehicle to your
authorized dealer for assistance at your
earliest convenience.
5. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and is properly tightened. Try to
push or pull, then turn the tire to be
sure it does not move. Loosen and
retighten, if necessary. Failure to
properly stow the spare tire may result
in failure of the winch cable and loss
of the tire.
6. Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure,
every six months, per scheduled
maintenance information, or at any
time that the spare tire is disturbed
through service of other components.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel
hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come
off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. lb.ft (Nm)
Bolt size
165 lb.ft (224 Nm)
M14 x 1.5
* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford
recommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque
at 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing
a flat tire, wheel removal).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified
torque at 100 miles (160 kilometers), and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of new
vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat
tire, wheel removal).
It is important to follow the proper wheel mounting and lug nut torque procedures.
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washer
and the nut. Do not apply motor oil to the wheel nut threads or the wheel stud threads. 417
