HXGS413
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun- terclockwise. When doing this, be surethat the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right as shown in the drawing. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of thehandle, pull up on it with steady pres- sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-halfturn.

To raise the vehicle, turn the wheelnut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, place a board, brick, flat stone or other object under the base of the jackto keep it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire.

with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the top hole in thewheel lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.
WARNING:
Wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Be-fore putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. Ifthere is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result inloss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

D060J01E-AAT After Changing Wheels If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recom-mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust ituntil it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced,air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible.
