Removing The Flat Tire And Installing The Spare Tire - Chevrolet Impala 2007 Impala Owner's Manual

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have aluminum wheels with
exposed wheel nuts. Use the wheel wrench to
loosen all the wheel nuts. Do not remove them yet.
Or, your vehicle may have steel wheel covers.
To remove the steel wheel covers and wheel nut
caps, loosen the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench in a counterclockwise direction.
If needed, you can finish loosening them with your
fingers. The plastic nut caps will not come off.
Use the flat end of the wheel wrench and pry
along the edge of the cover until it comes off. The
edge of the wheel cover could be sharp, so do
not try to remove it with your bare hands. Do not
drop the cover or lay it face down, as it could
become scratched or damaged.
Once you have removed the wheel cover, use the
following procedure to remove the flat tire and
install the spare tire.
1. Turn the wheel
wrench once on
each wheel nut
to loosen them.
Do not remove
them yet.
