CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
the places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to,
to get all the rust or dirt off.

7. Remove any rust or dirt

from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.

8. Place the spare tire on the mounting surface.

{

CAUTION:

Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. If you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel
could fall off, causing a serious accident.

9. Put the wheel nuts

back on with the
rounded end of the
nuts toward the wheel.
Tighten each wheel
nut by hand. Then use
the wheel wrench to
tighten the nuts
until the wheel is held
against the hub.
