Vehicle Care

4. When the tire has been lowered,

pull it closer to reach the tire
retainer and pull it up through
the wheel opening.

For a vehicle that was
completed from a cab and
chassis, refer to the information
from the body supplier/installer.

The spare tire is a full‐size tire,
like the other tires on the
vehicle.

5. Put the spare tire near the

flat tire.

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

If the vehicle has plastic wheel nut
caps, loosen them by turning the
wheel wrench counterclockwise.
The wheel nut caps are designed
to remain with the center cap.
Remove the center cap.

If the wheel has a smooth center
piece, place the chisel end of the
wheel wrench in the slot on the
wheel and gently pry it out.

1. Do a safety check before

proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat on page 10‑72

information.

2. Loosen all the wheel nuts with

the wheel wrench. Do not
