Always loosen the wheel nuts before
raising the vehicle.
Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise
to loosen. To get maximum leverage,
fit the wrench to the nut so that the

dle. Be careful that the wrench does
not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet—just un-
screw them about one −half turn.

bolts or nuts. The nuts may loose
and the wheels may fall off,
which could cause a serious ac-
cident.

the following to reduce the possi-
bility of personal injury:

in “P”. Block the wheel diago-
nally opposite to the one being

your vehicle during wheel
changing.
 Do not raise the vehicle with
someone in the vehicle.

enough so that the spare tire
can be installed.

clearance when putting on the spare
tire than when removing the flat tire.

handle into the jack (it is a loose fit)
and turn it clockwise. As the jack
touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double −check that it is properly posi-
tioned.

the vehicle is supported by the
jack alone.

bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get
at least the top bolt started through
its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it
back over the other bolts.
