Your vehicle may have aluminum wheels. If so,
you will see exposed stainless steel wheel
nuts. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all of the
wheel nuts. Do not remove them yet. Or, your
vehicle may have steel wheel covers. To remove
the wheel covers and wheel nut caps, loosen
the plastic nut caps with the wheel wrench in a
counterclockwise direction. If needed, you
can nish loosening with your ngers. The plastic
nut caps will not come off. Use the at end of
the wheel wrench and pry along the edge of the
cover until it comes off. The edge of the wheel
cover could be sharp, so do not try to remove it
with your bare hands. Do not drop the cover or lay
it face down, as it could become scratched or
damaged. Once you have removed the wheel
cover, use the following procedure to remove the
at tire and install the spare tire.
