next to the tire you are changing.
Turn the jack handle clockwise until
the wheel is completely off the
ground.

8. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.

9. Replace the flat tire with the
spare tire, making sure the valve
stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug

nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug
nuts until the wheel has been lowered.

If you are using the temporary tire, the lug nut washers will not appear
to be flush with the rim. This is normal only when using the temporary
spare tire.

10. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

11. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See Wheel Lug
Nut Torque Specifications
later in this
chapter for the proper lug nut torque
specification.

12. Put flat tire, wheel ornament, jack and
lug wrench away. Make sure the jack is
fastened so it does not rattle when you
drive.

13. Unblock the wheel.
