make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
9. Place the compact spare tire on
the wheel-mounting surface.
10. Reinstall the wheel nuts.
Tighten each nut by hand until
