Put on the spare tire. Put the
wheel nuts back on finger-tight,
then tighten them in a crisscross
pattern with the wheel nut wrench
until the wheel is firmly against
the hub. Do not try to tighten the
wheel nuts fully.
Lower the vehicle to the ground,
and remove the jack.
Before mounting the spare tire,
wipe any dirt off the mounting
surface of the wheel and hub with
a clean cloth. Wipe the hub
carefully; it may be hot from
driving.
The wheel cap cannot be removed
without first removing the wheel
nuts.
Remove the wheel nuts and the
wheel cap (on RT and DX models)
then remove the flat tire. Handle
the wheel nuts carefully; they may
be hot from driving. Place the flat
tire on the ground with the outside
surface facing up. 14. 15.
