7. Install wheel center cap and remove wheel blocks. Do
not install chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the
spare wheel. This may result in cap damage.
8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack
will not lower by turning the dial (thumb wheel) by
hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in
order to lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack, and
tools as previously described.
9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
NOTE: Do not oil wheel studs. For chrome wheels, do
not substitute with chrome plated wheel nuts.
Hub Caps/Wheel Covers
The hub caps must be removed before raising the vehicle
off the ground.
For single rear wheel (SRW) models, use the blade on the
end of the lug wrench to pry the hub cap off. Insert the
blade end into the pryoff notch and carefully pop off the
hub cap with a back and forth motion.
On models with dual rear wheels (DRW), you must first
remove the hub caps. The jack handle driver has a hook
at one end that will fit in the pry off notch of the rear hub
caps. Position the hook and pull out on the ratchet firmly.
The hub cap should pop off. The wheel skins can now be
removed. For the front hub cap on models use the blade
on the end of the lug wrench to pry the caps off. The
wheel skin can now be removed.
