nuts and take off the
flat tire.

CAUTION:

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 Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-80.

from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces

CAUTION:

Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts because
the nuts might come loose. The vehicle’s wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.

11. Install the spare tire.

12. Put the wheel nuts back on with the rounded end of

the nuts toward the wheel.
