Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

1. If your vehicle is equipped with the 8 inch (20 cm)

hubcap, use the wheel wrench to begin loosening
the plastic wheel nut caps. Once you have loosened
the plastic wheel nut caps with the wheel wrench,
you can finish loosening them with your fingers.
Once the plastic wheel nuts have been loosened,
pull the hubcap off by hand.

If your vehicle is equipped with either the 2 1/2 inch
(6 cm) or the 4 inch (10 cm) hubcap, first remove
the decorative nut caps using the wheel wrench.

2. Then use the wheel wrench to loosen the wheel

nuts, but do not remove them yet.

3. The jack has a bolt at

the end. Attach the
wheel wrench to
the bolt to create a
jack handle.

4. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower

the jack head until it fits under the vehicle.

5. Locate the notch in the plastic trim panel near each

wheel well to position the jack head. You will find
the word JACK and an arrow stamped into the
plastic near each notch.
