The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly
before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, tum
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, pull up on it with steady pressure.
Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen
them about one-half tum.

5. Raising the Car
Install the jack handle into the jack as shown in
the drawing. To raise the vehicle, tum the jack
handle 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, you may find it necessary to
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 to remove the flat tire.
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when It is sup-
ported by the jack! The vehicle could fall
and cause serious injury or death. No one
should stay in the car while the jack is being
used.

6. Changing Wheels
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.
