Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with
your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel
on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the
holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto
them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and
get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the
top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth
until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.

the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with
their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle
the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.
