WHEEL REMOVAL
WARNING
A falling vehicle can cause serious injury or death. Never place any part of your
body under an elevated vehicle. If you need access to the bottom of the
vehicle, use automotive jack stands to support the vehicle on a firm, level
surface. Your authorized GEM dealer can assist.
1. Position the vehicle on a dry, firm,
level surface.
2. Set the park brake.
3. Turn the key off.
4. Block both the front and rear of the
tire that is located diagonally
opposite the jacking position. For
example, if the right front tire is
being changed, block the left rear
wheel.
5. Use a small floor style jack or low
profile scissors jack only. Jack the
vehicle only from the side of the
vehicle, on the main frame rail, at
the point where the tub or floor
panel support and the main frame
rail are welded
q
. Alternative
locations include the rear frame rail
and the center of the front cross
member.
NOTICE
Jacking at any location other than the
recommended jacking points may
cause significant damage to the
vehicle frame and body.
6. Remove the wheel nuts and cone
washers (for vehicles with factory
steel wheels).
7. Remove the wheel.
