Never use the front or rear
differential as a jacking point.
To lessen the risk of
personal injury, do not put
any part of your body under the
vehicle while changing a tire. Do
not start the engine when your
vehicle is on the jack. The jack is
only meant for changing the tire.
8. Turn the jack handle clockwise
until the wheel is completely off the
ground and high enough to install
the spare tire.
9. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
10. On single rear wheel vehicles,
replace the flat tire with the spare
tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward for all front tires and
vehicles equipped with single rear
wheels. If replacing an inboard rear
tire on a dual rear wheel vehicle,
the valve stem must be facing outward. If replacing the outboard wheel,
the valve stem must be facing inward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the
wheel has been lowered.
11. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
Go to step 19.
