3. If you are replacing the front tire (with
aluminum wheels) with the temporary spare
tire, you need to remove the black dust
shield. Gently pull the shield over the rubber
o-rings and slide it off the wheel studs.
Because the rubber o-rings are soft, they
should pass through the holes in the shield.
If the rings do not pass through the holes,
remove them from the wheel studs. Save the
black dust shield for future use, and ensure
the rubber o-rings are removed from wheel
studs.

outward.

wheel is snug against the hub. The beveled
edges on the lug nuts face inward. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until you lower the
vehicle. If you do, you could force the
vehicle off the jack.
