4. Attach the folding

wrench to the jack,
and turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the
jack head a few inches.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the folding wrench

clockwise in the jack. Raise the vehicle far enough
off the ground so there is enough room for the spare
tire to fit.

6. 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.

CAUTION:

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.
