Jeep 2010 Wrangler Unlimited - User Guide - Manual (Page 49)

• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to
the right. Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and
cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing
the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack and wheel
blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased
leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
• Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
