Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See Changing
a Flat Tire on page 5-86 for more information.
2. If your vehicle has a center cap that covers the wheel
fasteners, place the chisel end of the wheel wrench
in the slot on the wheel and gently pry the cap out.
If the wheel has a bolt-on hub cap, loosen the
plastic nut caps by turning the wheel wrench
counterclockwise. The plastic nut caps will be
retained in the hub cap after it is removed from the
wheel.
