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 wheel
wrench as shown to raise the
vehicle until the flat tire is off the
ground.

Remove the wheel nuts, then
remove the flat tire. The wheel
nuts will be very hot if you were
recently driving. Place the flat tire
on the ground with the outside
surface facing up.

Put on the spare tire. Put the
wheel nuts back on finger-tight,
then tighten them in a crisscross
pattern with the wheel 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.
