4. When the tire has been lowered,
pull it closer to reach the tire
retainer and pull it up through
the wheel opening.
For a vehicle that was
completed from a cab and
chassis, refer to the information
from the body supplier/installer.
The spare tire is a full‐size tire,
like the other tires on the
vehicle.
5. Put the spare tire near the
flat tire.
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
If the vehicle has plastic wheel nut
caps, loosen them by turning the
wheel wrench counterclockwise.
The wheel nut caps are designed
to remain with the center cap.
Remove the center cap.
If the wheel has a smooth center
piece, place the chisel end of the
wheel wrench in the slot on the
wheel and gently pry it out.
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat on page 10‑72 for more
information.
2. Loosen all the wheel nuts with
the wheel wrench. Do not
remove them yet.
