The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn
the wrench handle counterclockwise. When
doing this, be sure that the socket is seated
completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For
maximum leverage position the wrench so the
handle is to the right as shown in the drawing.
Then, while holding the wrench near the end of
the handle, pull up on it with steady pressure.
Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen
them about one-half turn.

Install the jack handle into the jack as shown in
the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the jack
handle clockwise. As the jack begins to raise
the vehicle, double check that it is properly
positioned and will not slip. If the jack is on soft
ground or sand, you may find it necessary to
place a board, brick, flat stone or other object
under the base of the jack to keep it from
sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this,
you will need more ground clearance than is
AX30100A required to remove the flat tire.
