2. Get out the spare tire and jack.
3. The exposed lug nut wheel cover screws
onto the lug nuts. It is removed by using the
wheel lug nut wrench to turn each lug nut
cover counter-clockwise. This will NOT
loosen the wheel lug nuts. Remove the base
wheel covers with the tapered end of a
wheel nut wrench. Insert the handle of the
wrench and twist it against the inner wheel
cover flange. To remove aluminum wheel
center ornaments, insert the curled end of
lug wrench into pry-off notch and pry
against the wheel. To avoid damage to
aluminum wheel, do not twist wrench. For
more about removing wheel covers, see the
information later in this section.
4. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise, but do not remove them
until the tire is raised off the ground. You
should pull up on the handle rather than
push to develop maximum force to loosen
wheel lug nuts. See Anti-Theft Wheel Lug
Nuts later in this chapter for information on
removing anti-theft lug nuts.
Removing and Replacing the Tire
1. Find the jack notch next to the door of the
tire that you are changing. Put the jack in
the jack notch and turn the handle of the
jack clockwise until the wheel is completely
off the ground.
