—Loosening wheel nuts

4. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising
the vehicle.
Turn the wheel nuts 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.
Do not remove the nuts yet—just unscrew
them about one-half turn.
CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or
nuts. The nuts may become loose and
the wheels may fall off, which could
cause a serious accident.
