NOTE: The wheel cover is made of plastic; use caution
when prying it off.
NOTE: Some styles of wheels will have bolt-on type
wheel covers. To remove this style, remove the bolts that
hold the cover to the wheel.
CAUTION!
Trying to simply remove the wheel cover with your
bare hands may severely injure your fingers.
To install
Align the air valve with the valve opening provided on
the wheel cover.
Then pound around the outer edge of the wheel cover
with your hand to secure it in place.

10. Clear out any mud, etc. on the hub surface, hub bolts
or in the installation holes in the wheel, and then mount
the spare tire.
11. Install the spare wheel with the nut's tapered end
facing inward, then tighten by hand until the wheel is no
longer loose.
CAUTION!
Never apply oil to either wheel bolts or nuts as it can
cause them to overtighten.
NOTE: Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the steel
wheel, but return to the original wheel and tire as soon as
possible.
If all four wheels are changed to steel wheels, use
tapered nuts.
