Removing a Flat Tire
1. Pry off the wheel cover with the
beveled end of the lug wrench.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
If the jack leans towards the front or
the rear when jacking up, lower the
vehicle until the wheels are firmly on
the ground. Then confirm that the
parking brake is set, the shift lever is in
Park (P), then push the blocks into the
tire strongly.
NOTE
Force the end of the wrench firmly
between wheel and cover, or removal
will be difficult.
