2.6.3 Wheel Nut Loosening
Wrap the tip of a screw driver with cloth, insert it near the lugs of
the wheel cap (if equipped) and pry the cap away from the wheel.
Do not try to pry off the wheel cap by hand alone. Take due care
in handling the wheel cap to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the
wheel nuts counter clockwise to loosen as per the sequence. To get
maximum leverage, fit the spanner to the nut so that the handle is
on the left side. Grab the spanner near the end of the handle and
push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does not slip
off the nut. Do not remove the nuts, but loosen them by one or two
turns.
Do not apply force with your legs (or stand) on the wheel
spanner while loosening/tightening the wheel nuts.
2.7 Jack Points
Front jack up point - On the chassis long member just behind the
front wheels.
Rear jack up point - Under the rear axle.
