Buick 2007 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 436)

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. If there is a wheel cover, loosen the plastic
nut caps with the wheel wrench. They will
not come off. Then, using the flat end of the
wheel wrench, pry along the edge of the cover
until it comes off. Be careful; the edges may
be sharp. Do not try to remove the cover
with your bare hands.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, remove
the wheel nut caps using the wheel wrench.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts, but do not remove
them, using the folding wrench.
Turn the handle about 180 degrees, then flip
the handle back to the starting position. This
avoids taking the wrench off the lug nut for each
turn. For wheels with a wheel lock key, use the
wheel lock key between the lock nut and folding
wrench. The key is supplied in the front
passenger door pocket.
Notice: If your vehicle has wheel locks and you
use an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts,
you could damage the lock nut or wheel lock
key. Do not use an impact wrench to remove the
wheel nuts if your vehicle has wheel locks.
