WHEEL REMOVAL
A falling vehicle can cause serious injury or death. Never place any part of your
body under an elevated vehicle. If you need access to the bottom of the
vehicle, use automotive jack stands to support the vehicle on a firm, level
surface. Your authorized GEM dealer can assist.
1. Position the vehicle on a dry, firm, level surface.
2. Set the park brake.
3. Turn the key off.
4. Block both the front and rear of the tire that is located diagonally opposite the
jacking position. For example, if the right front tire is being changed, block
the left rear wheel.
5. Use a small floor style jack or low profile scissors jack only. Jack the vehicle
only from the side of the vehicle, on the main frame rail, at the point where
the tub or floor panel support and the main frame rail are welded
Alternative locations include the rear frame rail and the center of the front
cross member.
6. Remove the wheel nuts.
7. Remove the wheel.
NOTICE
Jacking at any location other than the
recommended jacking points may
cause significant damage to the
vehicle frame and body.
