—Blocking the wheel
50p011b
2. Block the wheel diagonally op-
posite the flat tire to keep the
vehicle from rolling when it is
jacked up.
When chocking the wheel, place a
wheel block in front of one of the front
wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.
—Loosening wheel nuts
50p085a
3. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before
raising the vehicle.
Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise
to loosen them. To get maximum le-
verage, fit the wrench to the nut so
that the handle is on the right side,
as shown above. Grab the wrench
near the end of the handle and pull
up on the handle. Be careful that the
wrench does not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet—just un-
screw them about one−half turn in the
order shown.
