Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
Do not get under a vehicle that is onlysupported by a vehicle jack.
When you install a wheel, alwaysremove any corrosion, dirt or foreignmaterials present on the mountingsurfaces of the wheel or the surface of thewheel hub, brake drum or brake disc thatcontacts the wheel. Make sure to secureany fasteners that attach the rotor to thehub so they do not interfere with themounting surfaces of the wheel. Installingwheels without correct metal-to-metalcontact at the wheel mounting surfacescan cause the wheel nuts to loosen andthe wheel to come off while your vehicleis in motion, resulting in loss of vehiclecontrol, personal injury or death.
