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 leverage, 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 unscrew them about one–half
turn.
CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. The nuts
may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could
cause a serious accident.
