7. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tire you are changing.
The jacking positions are plates
welded to the frame with two
notches. Never jack at any other
position or part of the vehicle. Doing
so may damage the side seal molding
or other parts of the vehicle.
8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire clears the ground.
Make sure the vehicle is stable on the
jack.
9. Loosen the lug nuts with the wheel
lug nut wrench and remove them
with your fingers. Slide the wheel off
the studs and lay it flat so it cannot
roll away. To put the wheel on the
hub, pick up the spare tire, line up
the holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them. If this is difficult,
tip the wheel slightly and get the top
hole in the wheel lined up with the top
stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid over
OTMH080004
the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against the
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
OTMH080005
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs
and tighten them finger tight. The
nuts should be installed with their
tapered small diameter ends directed
inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is
completely seated, then tighten the
nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground
by turning the wheel lug wrench
counterclockwise.
