Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

To remove the flat tire and install the spare:

1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See Changing

a Flat Tire on page 5-76 for more information.

2. Loosen the wheel nuts, but do not remove them

yet, using the wheel wrench. Turn the handle
about 180 degrees, then flip the handle back to the
starting position. This avoids taking the wrench
off the lug nut for each turn.

3. Find the jacking location using the V–shaped

notches located in the plastic molding.

4. Attach the wheel wrench to the jack.

{

CAUTION:

Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
