Removing The Flat Tire And Installing The Spare Tire - Pontiac Montana SV6 2007 Owner's Manual

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have aluminum wheels. If so, you
will see exposed stainless steel wheel nuts. Use the
wheel wrench to loosen all of the wheel nuts. Do not
remove them yet. Or, your vehicle may have steel
wheel covers. To remove the wheel covers and
wheel nut caps, loosen the plastic nut caps with the
wheel wrench in a counterclockwise direction.
If needed, you can finish loosening with your
fingers. The plastic nut caps will not come off.
Use the flat end of the wheel wrench and pry
along the edge of the cover until it comes off.
The edge of the wheel cover could be sharp, so do
not try to remove it with your bare hands. Do not
drop the cover or lay it face down, as it could
become scratched or damaged. Once you have
removed the wheel cover, use the following
procedure to remove the flat tire and install the
spare tire.
