If the flat tire is on the rear, position the jack under
the rear axle and get as close as possible to the
shock absorber.
5. Make sure the jack head is positioned so that the
rear axle is resting securely between the grooves
that are on the jack head.
6. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to raise the
vehicle. Raise the vehicle far enough off the ground
so there is enough room for the spare tire to fit
under the wheel well.
7. Remove all the wheel
nuts and the flat tire.
{ CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is
fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after
time. The wheel could come off and cause an
accident. When changing a wheel, remove any rust
or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, 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.
