Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

If the wheel has a center cap, use the handle of the
folding wrench to pry it off. Then, with the other end of
the folding wrench, loosen the nuts.

If your vehicle has the plastic bolt-on wheel covers,
loosen the bolts completely using the folding wrench,
and remove the wheel cover.

Once the center cap and/or wheel cover are removed,
use the following steps to remove the flat tire and install
the spare tire.

1. Loosen the wheel nuts

using the folding
wrench, but do not
remove them.
Turn the handle
counterclockwise about
180 degrees, then flip
the handle back to the
starting position. This
avoids taking the
wrench off the lug nut
for each turn.

Notice: If your vehicle has wheel locks and you use
an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts, you
could damage the lock nut or wheel lock key. Do not
use an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts if
your vehicle has wheel locks.
