Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire
1. If your vehicle is equipped with plastic wheel
covers, use the wheel wrench to loosening the
plastic wheel nut caps. Once you have loosened the
plastic wheel nut caps with the wheel wrench you
can finish loosening them with your fingers.
The plastic nut caps do not come off. Using the flat
end of the wheel wrench, pry along the edge of
the wheel cover until it comes off.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, first remove
the center cap with your finger or the wheel wrench.
2. Then use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel
nuts. Don't remove them yet.
