—Blocking the wheel
2. Block the wheel diagnoally oppo-
site the flat tire to keep the vehicle
from rolling when it is jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a wheel
block from the front for the front wheels or
from the rear for the rear wheels.
—Removing wheel ornament
(steel wheels only)
3. Remove the wheel ornament.
Pry off the wheel ornament, using the bev-
eled end of the wheel nut wrench as
shown.
CAUTION
!
Do not try to pull the ornament by
hand. Take due care in handling the
ornament to avoid
personal injury.
—Loosening wheel nuts
4. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before rais-
ing the vehicle.
The nuts turn counterclockwise to loosen.
To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench
to the nut so that the handle is on the right
side, as shown above. Grab the wrench
near the end of the handle and pull up on
the handle. Be careful that the wrench
does not slip off the nut.
unexpected
Do not remove the nuts yet—just unscrew
them about one-half turn.
