—Blocking the wheel
2. Block the wheel diagonally op-
posite the flat tire to keep the
vehicle from rolling when it is
jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a
wheel block in front of one of the front
wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.
—Loosening wheel nuts
SY41012
3. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before
raising the vehicle.
The nuts turn counterclockwise to
loosen. To get maximum leverage, fit
the wrench to the nut so that the han-
dle is on the right side, as shown
above. Grasp the wrench near the
end of the handle and pull up on the
handle. Be careful that the wrench
does not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet—just un-
screw them about one−half turn.
CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on the
bolts or nuts. The nuts may loos-
en and the wheels may fall off,
which could cause a serious ac-
cident.
