A
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it
is
fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after
a
time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the
places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel
to do this; but be sure to
use
a scraper or wire
brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.

Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. If you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel could
fall off, causing a serious accident.
7. Place the spare on the wheel mounting surface.
8. Put the nuts on by
hand. Make sure the
cone-shaped end is
toward the wheel.
Tighten each nut by
'
hand until the wheel is
held against the hub.
If a nut can't be turned
by hand, use the
wheel wrench and
see your dealer as
soon as possible.
