Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. It is recommended a safety check is done before
proceeding. See Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-86
for more information.
2. If your vehicle has a wheel cover or hubcap that
has plastic wheel nut caps, then loosen the plastic
nut caps. You may need to use the wheel wrench
to loosen them. Do not pry off wheel covers or
center caps that have plastic wheel nut caps.
3. Remove the wheel cover or center cap from the
wheel to locate the wheel nuts.
If your vehicle has a wheel cover or hubcap without
plastic wheel nut caps, gently pry on the edge of
the plastic wheel trim to remove it from the wheel to
find the wheel nuts.
Store the wheel cover in the trunk until the flat is
repaired or replaced.
