Vehicle Care

Rear Tire Flat: Use the jack
handle and both jack handle
extensions. Attach the wheel
wrench to the jack extensions.
Attach the jack handle to the
jack. From the rear of the vehicle
align the jack under the rear
axle. Turn the wheel wrench
clockwise to raise the vehicle.
Raise the vehicle far enough off
the ground so there is enough
room for the spare tire to clear
the ground.

6. Turn the wheel wrench

clockwise to raise the jack head
to the lifting point.

{

WARNING

Getting under a vehicle when it is
jacked up is dangerous. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed.
Never get under a vehicle when it
is supported only by a jack.

{

WARNING

Raising your vehicle with the
jack improperly positioned can
damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help
avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift
head into the proper location
before raising the vehicle.

7. Remove all the wheel nuts and

take off the flat tire.

{

WARNING

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust
or dirt off. See If a Tire Goes Flat
on page 10‑64
.

8. Remove any rust or dirt from the

wheel bolts, mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.
