Spare Tire - Pontiac 2002 Aztek Owner's Manual

Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the

Spare Tire

1. If there is a wheel cover, loosen the plastic nut caps
with the wheel wrench. They won't come off. Then,
using the flat end of the wheel wrench, pry along the
edge of the cover until it comes off. Be careful; the
edges may be sharp. Don't try to remove the cover
with your bare hands.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, remove the
wheel nut caps using the wheel wrench.
For wheels with a wheel lock key, use the wheel lock
key between the lock nut and folding wrench. The
key is supplied in the front passenger door pocket.
5-34
2. Loosen the wheel
--
nuts but do not remove
--
them using the folding
wrench. (Turn the handle
about 180 degrees, then
flip the handle back to
the starting position.
This avoids taking the
wrench off the lug nut for
each turn.)
NOTICE:
To help avoid damage to lock nut or wheel lock
key, do not use an impact wrench with this key.
