TO CHANGE A FRONT WHEEL:
1. Move the vehicle to a level, firm surface.
2. To provide clearance for the jack, carefully
drive the flat tire up on the wheel chock.
3. Turn off the engine, place transmission selec-
tor in "P" and set the parking brake.
4. Block both the front and back of the wheel
in the opposite corner from the wheel to be
changed.
5. On questionable surfaces, use a board or
other solid, flat material under the jack to pro-
vide a firm base and minimize the possibility
of shifting.
6. Slide the jack under the front spring lower
control arm (see illustration), and turn the
screw extension up until it touches the control
arm surface.

14. Completely lower and remove the jack. Re-
move blocks, boards and other tools.
15. Drive the vehicle off the chock.
16. Check the tightness of the wheel nuts often
until you get to a tire service center. Have the
wheel nut torque and air pressure checked by
professional tire service personnel.
TO CHANGE A REAR WHEEL:
(If only one tire is flat on a rear dual, drive 25
mph or less for no more than 5 miles to a tire ser-
vice center, checking the tire often.)
1. Move the vehicle to a level, firm surface.
2. Turn off the engine, place the transmission
selector to "P" and set the parking brake.
3. Block the front and back wheel in the opposite
corner from the wheel to be changed.
4. On questionable surfaces, use a board or
other solid, flat material under the jack to pro-
vide a firm base and minimize shifting.
5. Slide the jack under the rear axle housing and
screw the extension out until it touches the
axle housing tube. 8e sure the jack is centered
on the axle tube so the vehicle will not slide
off the jack. Place the jack far enough inboard
on the axle so the jack can be operated with-
out getting under the vehicle.
6. Begin jacking until the jack is firmly
positioned but do not lift the tire off the
ground.
