6. Remove the wheel nuts and change
tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the compact spare wheel into position
and align the holes in the wheel with the
bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at
least the top bolt started through its hole.
Wiggle the tire and press it back over the
other bolts.

Before putting wheels on, remove any cor-
rosion on the mounting surfaces with a
wire brush or such. Installation of wheels
without good metal- to- metal contact at the
mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to
loosen and eventually cause a wheel to
come off while driving. Therefore after the
first 1600 km (1000 miles), check to see
that the wheel nuts are tight.

7. Reinstall all the wheel nuts with
finger tight.
Reinstall the wheel nuts (tapered end in-
ward) and tighten them as much as you
can by finger. Press back on the tire back
and see if you can tighten them more.
