6. Turn the wheel wrench

clockwise to raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there
is enough room for the spare tire
to fit underneath the wheel well.

7. Turn the wheel nuts

counterclockwise to
remove them.

8. Remove the flat tire.

{

WARNING

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

9. Remove any rust or dirt from the

wheel bolts, mounting surfaces,
and spare wheel.

10. Place the spare tire on the

wheel-mounting surface.

{

WARNING

Never use oil or grease on bolts
or nuts because the nuts might
come loose. The vehicle's wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.

11. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Turn

each nut clockwise, by hand,
until the wheel is held against
the hub.

12. Lower the vehicle by turning

the wheel wrench
counterclockwise. Lower the
jack completely.

{

WARNING

Wheel nuts that are improperly or
incorrectly tightened can cause
the wheels to become loose or
come off. The wheel nuts should
be tightened with a torque wrench
to the proper torque specification
after replacing. Follow the torque
specification supplied by the
aftermarket manufacturer when
using accessory locking wheel
nuts. See

Capacities and

Specifications on page 12-2

for

original equipment wheel nut
torque specifications.
