2. On some models, a cover plate must be removed to
find the wheel nuts. Carefully use the wedge end of
the wheel wrench to pry it off.
3. Then use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel
nuts. Don’t remove them yet.
4. Near each wheel well is a notch in the frame which
the jack head fits in. The front notch is 9 inches
(23 cm) back from the front wheel well. The rear
notch is 8 inches (20 cm) forward from the rear
wheel well. As is shown in the diagram above, if
your vehicle has flared side moldings, both front
and rear notches are 18 inches (46 cm) from the
wheel wells.
Position the jack and raise the jack head until it fits
firmly into the notch in the vehicle’s frame nearest
the flat tire. Put the compact spare tire near you.
