Buick 2004 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 409)

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.
