Replacing the Flat Tire

Do not over tighten the wheel nuts by applying extra 
torque using your foot or a pipe.

Make sure the wire support ring is hooked into the 
clips around the edge of the wheel cover.

Align the valve mark on the wheel cover to the tire 
valve on the wheel, then install the wheel cover.
