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
them fully.

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

Remove the wheel nuts and the
wheel cap (on RT and Canadian
LX models) 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.

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.

The wheel cap cannot be removed
without first removing the wheel
nuts.
