Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
You must take off the wheel cover or hubcap to reach
the wheel bolts.
For steel wheels with full plastic covers and aluminum
wheels with large circular center caps, do the following:
1. Loosen all five hex-shaped plastic caps by
turning the wrench counterclockwise. Do not try
to remove plastic caps from the cover or center cap.
2. Pull the cover or center cap away from the wheel
and place it in the trunk.
When reinstalling full plastic covers or center caps,
tighten all five plastic caps hand snug with the aid of the
wheel wrench and tighten them with the wheel wrench
an additional one-quarter of a turn.
Once the wheel cover is removed, use the following
steps to remove the flat tire and install the spare tire.
1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts.
