5.
Raise the vehicle
by
rotating the wheel wrench to the
right on the jack. Raise the vehicle
far
enough
off
the
ground
so
there’s enough room for the spare tire
to fit.
4.
Remove all the wheel nuts and take
off
the flat tire.
7.
Remove any rust or dirt
from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces and
spare wheel.
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or
on
the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
~
emergency, you can use
a
cloth or a paper towel
to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire
brush later,
if
you need
to,
to get all the rust or
dirt off.
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
If
you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel could
fall off, causing
a
serious accident.
