4. Attach the folding

wrench to the jack, and
turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the
jack head 3 inches
(7.6 cm).

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the folding wrench

clockwise in the jack. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so that there is enough room
for the spare tire to fit under the wheel well.

6. Remove all the wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.

7. Remove any rust or dirt

from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.

{

CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
the places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to, to
get all the rust or dirt off.

{

CAUTION:

Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. If
you do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel
could fall off, causing a serious accident.
