Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts
to which it is fastened, can make the
wheel nuts become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you can use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if needed, to
get all the rust or dirt off.

dirt from the wheel
bolts, mounting
surfaces, and spare

Your wheel could fall off, causing a
serious accident.

end of the nuts toward the wheel after
mounting the spare tire.

the wheel wrench to tighten the wheel nuts
until the wheel is held against the hub.
