Your spare tire is in your vehicle's rear area, either mounted to the left wall,
the floor, or the endgate.

removed
in order to have access to the jack storage.
TO Remove the Side-Mounted or Floor-Mounted Spare Tire
Reach into your tire's
cover and unscrew the
wingnut at the center
of the wheel. Remove
it and the retainer.

the mounting bracket
and remove the cover.

away from the one
being changed. Put
your spare tire near
the flat tire.
Hub Caps And Wheel Nut Caps
You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel
nuts.
I --
If you have individual
wheel nut caps that
cover each nut, they
must be removed in
order to get the wheel
nuts. Use the socket
end
of the wheel
wrench to remove the
wheel nut caps.
Your wheel nut caps may attach your hub cap to the wheel. Remove these
wheel nut caps before you take
off the hub cap.
If you have just an aluminum or plastic molded hub cap, pry it off with the
chisel end of your wheel wrench.

hub caps have
imitation
wheel nuts
molded into them. The
wheel wrench won’t
fit these imitation
nuts,
so don’t try to
remove them
with the
socket end
of the
wheel wrench.
Using the wheel wrench, loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove them
yet.
