Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the
Spare Tire
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel cover or
hubcap that has a plastic wheel nut cap, then loosen
the plastic nut caps (you may need to use the wheel
wrench to loosen them). Do not pry off wheel covers
or center caps that have plastic wheel nut caps.
2. Remove the wheel cover or center cap.
3. If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel cover or
hubcap without plastic wheel nut caps, gently pry on
the edge of the plastic wheel trim to remove it from
the wheel to find the wheel nuts.
4. Then use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel
nuts. Don’t remove them yet.
