differential FORD F-59 2020 Owners Manual

Drive cautiously when using a full-size
dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
and seek service as soon as possible.
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 the
vehicle from moving when you change
a tire, be sure to place the transmission
in park (P), set the parking brake and
block (in both directions) the wheel that
is diagonally opposite (other side and
end of the vehicle) to the tire being
changed. WARNING:
Never get underneath
a vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. 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 as original equipment with your
vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off. 3. Block the diagonally opposite wheel.
The parking brake is on the
transmission. Therefore, the vehicle will
not be prevented from moving when a
rear wheel is lifted, even if the parking
brake is applied. Be sure to block both
directions of the wheel that is
diagonally opposite to the wheel that
is being lifted.
4. Remove the spare tire and jack from the storage location.
5. Loosen the wheel nut by pulling up on the handle of the lug nut wrench about
one-half turn (counterclockwise). Do
not remove the wheel lug nuts until you
raise the tire off the ground.
6. Position the jack to raise the front or rear wheel. Raise the vehicle with the
jack applied to the axle(s).
Note: Never use the rear differential as a
jacking point.
7. Raise the vehicle until the wheel is completely off the ground.
8. Remove the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench.
9. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire.
