Extension ToolFollow these instructions to lower the spare tire:
1. If the vehicle is equipped with a hoist lock (I), open
the spare tire lock cover on the bumper and use the
ignition key to remove the lock.
2. Assemble the wheel wrench (B) and the two jack
handle extensions (C) as shown. Insert the hoist
end (K) (open end) of the extension through the
hole (J) in the rear bumper. Be sure the hoist end
of the extension connects into the hoist shaft (D)
(the ribbed square end of the extension is used to
lower the spare tire).
3. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the spare tire (F) to the ground. Continue to turn the
wheel wrench until the spare tire can be pulled out
from under the vehicle. The wheel wrench has a
hook that allows you to pull the hoist cable (H)
towards you, to assist in reaching the spare tire.
4. When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer at
the end of the cable so it can be pulled up through
the wheel opening.
5. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.

head to the lifting point.
To remove the center cap
place the chisel end of the
wheel wrench in the slot
on the wheel and gently
pry out.

5-24 Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the
Spare Tire
1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts.
Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to loosen
the wheel nuts. Don't remove the wheel nuts yet.
Position the jack under the vehicle. If the flat tire is
on the front of the vehicle, position the jack on the
frame behind the flat tire.
If the flat tire is on the rear of the vehicle, use the
jacking pad provided on the rear axle.
CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be sure to fit the jack
lift head into the proper location before raising
the vehicle.

2. For the front position, make sure that the jack is
positioned where the sections of frame overlap.
For the rear, make sure the jack head is positioned
so that the rear axle is resting securely between the
grooves that are on the jack head. Turn the wheel
wrench clockwise to raise the vehicle. Raise the
vehicle far enough off the ground so there is enough
room for the spare tire to fit back underneath the rear
of the vehicle.

5. After mounting the
spare, put the wheel
nuts back on with the
rounded end of the
nuts toward the wheel.
Tighten each wheel
nut by hand. Then use
the wheel wrench to
tighten the nuts until
the wheel is held
against the hub.
Front Position
6. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to
lower the vehicle. Lower

Rear Position

5-28
7. Tighten the nuts firmly in
a crisscross sequence as
shown by turning the
wheel wrench clockwise.
CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose
and even come off. This could lead to an accident.
Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get new GM original
equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench
to 140 lb
-ft (190 N´m).
NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
When you reinstall the full-size wheel and tire, you
must also reinstall the center cap. Place the cap on
the wheel and tap it into place until it seats flush with
the wheel.

While refueling, hang the filler cap by the tether using
the hook located on the inside of the filler door.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the
left (counterclockwise).
CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any ªhissº noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See ªCleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicleº in the Index.
