Before removing the wheel lug nuts,
make sure the vehicle is stable and
that there is no chance for movement
or slippage.
10.Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers.
11.Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it
flat so it cannot roll away.
12.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.
13.Jiggle the wheel back and forth until
the wheel can slide over the other
studs.
Wheels may have sharp edges. Han-
dle them carefully to avoid possible
If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
severe injury. Before putting the
wheel into place, be sure that there is
nothing on the hub or wheel (such as
mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that prevents
the wheel from fitting solidly against
the hub.
WARNING
Installing a wheel
僅 When you install a wheel, always
remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of
the wheel hub, brake drum or brake
disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub so they do
not interfere with the mounting sur-
faces of the wheel. Installing wheels
without correct metal-to-metal con-
tact at the wheel mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the wheel to come off while your
vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of
vehicle control, personal injury or
death.
僅 Make sure the wheel makes good
contact with the hub when installed. If
the contact of the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub is not
good, the wheel nuts could come
loose and cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Wheel covers will not fit on the vehicle's
compact spare. If you try to put a wheel
cover on the compact spare, the cover
or the spare could be damaged.
14.To install the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs
and tighten them finger tight.
