Put The Jack In Place; Raising The Car; Changing Wheels - Hyundai Elantra Owner's Manual

The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly be-
fore raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the
wrench handle counterclockwise. When doing
this, be sure that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum
leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to
the right as shown in the drawing. Then, while
holding the wrench near the end of the handle,
push down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them
about one-half turn.

After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as
shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn
the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack
begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is
properly positioned and will not slip. If the jack is
on soft ground or sand, place a board, brick, flat
stone or other object under the base of the jack
to keep it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this, you
will need more ground clearance than is required

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with
your fingers. 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.
