To change the front flat tire:
Front Flat Tire Changing Procedure:
1. Perform a rear tire change by removing the rear tire
and installing the compact spare tire in the rear
wheel location. The rear road tire will be used
to replace the front flat tire. See Rear Tire Changing
Procedure in this section.
2. Do a safety check before proceeding. See Changing
a Flat Tire on page 5-74.
3. If your vehicle has plastic wheel covers, use the
wheel wrench to loosen the plastic wheel nut caps.
Once the plastic wheel nut caps have been
loosened with the wheel wrench, you can finish
loosening them with your fingers. The plastic
nut caps do not come off.
4. Using the flat end of the wheel wrench, pry along
the edge of the wheel cover until it comes off.
Store the wheel cover in the trunk until the flat tire
is repaired or replaced.
5. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts
on the flat tire. Do not remove them yet.
