Removing And Replacing The Tire - Ford Vehicle Owner's Manual

3. Use the tapered end of the lug nut wrench
to unscrew wheel ornaments attached by
retaining screws. Remove any wheel trim.
Insert the tapered end of the lug nut wrench
behind wheel covers or hubcaps and twist
off.
4. Loosen the wheel nuts by pulling up on the
handle of the lug nut wrench about one-half
turn (counterclockwise). Do not remove the
wheel lug nuts until you raise the tire off the
ground.

Removing and Replacing the Tire

1. Insert the jack handle into the jack and use
the handle to slide the jack under the
vehicle.
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
To lessen the risk of personal injury, do
not put any part of your body under the
vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start
the engine when your vehicle is on the
jack. The jack is only meant for changing
the tire.
