Problems on the Road
CAUTION
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on
the parts to which it is fastened,
can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from the places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you could use a
cloth or a paper towel to do
this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if necessary,
to get all the rust or dirt off.

CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on
studs, nuts or bolts. If you do,
the nuts or bolts might come
loose. Your wheel could fall off,
causing a serious accident.
Place the spare tire on the wheel
mounting surface.
Install the wheel nuts with the
rounded end toward the wheel
and tighten by hand.
Continue tightening the wheel
nuts with the wheel wrench until
the wheel is held against the hub.
Turn the wheel wrench counter-
clockwise to lower the vehicle.
Lower the jack completely.
