Jeep 2004 Wrangler - Manual (Page 213)

Spare Tire Location
To remove the spare tire from the carrier, remove the tire
cover, if equipped, and remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench turning them counterclockwise. If equipped with
an anti-theft lug nut (A), use the “Key” (B) and the lug
wrench. The “Key” is stored in the glove box.
NOTE: If you have added aftermarket accessories to the
spare tire mounted carrier, it cannot exceed a gross
weight of 50 lbs (23 kg) including the weight of the spare
tire.
Tire Changing Procedures
WARNING!
You can be injured or killed if you try to change a
wheel too close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
Preparation
• Park on a firm, level surface well off the road, to
provide ample work space. Place automatic transmis-
sion in P (Park), or manual transmission in R (Re-
verse), and stop engine. Set parking brake firmly and
activate hazard warning flasher.
