Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before proceeding. Please
see Changing a Flat Tire on page 370 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 might 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, carefully 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 you
have the flat repaired or replaced.
4. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel
nuts. Do not remove them yet.
