If Trouble Arises
If  your  vehicle  is  equipped  with
a wheel cover, pry off the wheel
cover  with  the  beveled  end  of
the jack lever.
Force  the  end  of  the  jack  lever
firmly between wheel and cover, or
removal will be difficult.
Loosen  the  lug  nuts  by  turning
them counterclockwise one turn
each,  but  do  not  remove  any
lug  nuts  until  the  tire  has  been
raised off the ground.
Place the jack on the ground.
Turn the jack screw in the direc-
tion  shown  in  the  figure  and
adjust the jack head so that it is
close to the jack-up position.
Place  the  jack  under  the  jack-
up  position  closest  to  the  tire
being  changed  with  the  jack
head  squarely  under  the  jack-
up point.

Continue  raising  the  jack  head
gradually  by  rotating  the  screw
with  your  hand  until  the  jack
head is inserted into the jack-up
position.
When raising the jack head into the
jacking  position  and  aligning  the
groove in the jack head with the rail
under  the  vehicle  body,  the  top  of
the  jack  head  contacts  the  vehi-
cle’s  underbody  without  the  rail
contacting  the  bottom  of  the
groove.
Insert the jack lever and attach
the lug wrench to tire jack.
Turn  the  jack  handle  clockwise
and  raise  the  vehicle  high
enough  so  that  the  spare  tire
can  be  installed.  Before  remov-
ing  the  lug  nuts,  make  sure
your  Toyota  is  firmly  in  position
and that it cannot slip or move.
Remove  the  lug  nuts  by  turning  them  counterclockwise;  then
remove the wheel  and center cap.
