the following:
2. If the cable end fitting is not visible, proceed to
Step 6.
If it is visible, first try to tighten the cable by turning
the wheel wrench clockwise until you hear two
clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot overtighten
the cable.
3. Loosen the cable by turning the wheel wrench
counterclockwise three or four turns.
1. Check under the
vehicle to see if the

Step 5 under Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
on page 5-73.
5. Turn the wrench counterclockwise until
approximately 6 inches (15 cm) of cable is exposed.
