Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire
1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, but
don't remove them yet.
2. The jack has a bolt at
the end. Attach the
wheel wrench to
the bolt to create a jack
handle.
3. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the jack head until it ®ts under the vehicle.4. Near each wheel well is a notch in the plastic trim
panel to position the jack head. You'll ®nd the word
JACK and an arrow stamped into the plastic near
each notch. Position the jack under the vehicle and
raise the jack head until it ®ts ®rmly against the sheet
metal next to the word JACK. Do not raise the vehicle
yet. Put the compact spare tire near you.

{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 ®t the
jack lift head into the proper location before
raising the vehicle.5. Raise the vehicle by turning the wheel wrench
clockwise in the jack. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there is enough room for
the compact spare tire to ®t underneath the
wheel well.

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 the
proper torque speci®cation. See ªCapacities
