6. Raise the vehicle by turning the
wrench clockwise until the
vehicle is far enough off the
ground to allow enough room for
the compact spare tire to fit
under the vehicle.
Keep the hook parallel to the
ground. The wrench may need
to be removed and repositioned
to continue turning it.
7. Remove all of the wheel nuts
and place them in a dry, clean
place to avoid getting dirt in the
threads.
WARNING
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.

8. Remove any rust or dirt from the
wheel bolts, mounting surfaces,
and spare wheel.
9. Place the compact spare tire on
the wheel-mounting surface.
WARNING
Never use oil or grease on bolts
or nuts because the nuts might
come loose. The vehicle's wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.
