When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack drive

tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the

extension tube. Securely place the jack under the sway

bar bracket (unless both tires are flat on one side, then

place jack under shock bracket) facing forward in vehicle.

Connect the jack tube extension and lug wrench.

Before raising the wheel off the ground, make sure that
the jack will not damage surrounding truck parts and
adjust the jack position as required.

NOTE:

If the jack will not lower by turning the dial

(thumbwheel) by hand, it may be necessary to use the

jack drive tube in order to lower the jack.
4. By rotating the wheel wrench clockwise, raise the

vehicle until the wheel just clears the surface.

WARNING!

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle unstable and cause a collision. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.

5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel off. Install

the spare wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped

end of the nuts toward the wheel on single rear wheel
