Before mounting the spare tire,
wipe any dirt off the mounting
surface of the wheel and hub
with a clean cloth. Wipe the hub
carefully; it may be hot from
driving.

Use the extension and the wheel
nut wrench as shown to raise
the vehicle until the flat tire
is off the ground.

Remove the wheel nuts, then
remove the flat tire. Handle the
wheel nuts carefully; they may be
hot from driving. Place the flat tire
on the ground with the outside
surface facing up.

Lower the vehicle to the ground,
and remove the jack.

Put on the spare tire. Put the
wheel nuts back on finger-tight,
then tighten them in a crisscross
pattern with the wheel nut wrench
until the wheel is firmly against
the hub. Do not try to tighten the
wheel nuts fully.
