6. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise it high enough
so that the spare tire can be installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground clearance when putting
on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a loose

to lift, double−check that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by
the jack alone.

Before putting on the wheel, remove any corrosion on the mounting
surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without
good metal−to−metal contact at the mounting surface can cause
wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come off while
driving.
