Use the wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, then
remove them with your fingers. Remove the
wheel cover (if installed) from the wheel and
slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it
cannot roll away. 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.
Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the
wheel can be slid over the other studs.
