Tighten the wheel nuts securely in
the same crisscross pattern. Have
the wheel nut torque checked at
the nearest automotive service
facility.
Tighten the wheel nuts to:
Remove the center cap from the
flat tire.
Place the flat tire face up under
the hoist.
Insert the hoist bracket into the
center hole of the flat tire.
Put on the spare tire. Put the
wheel nuts back on finger-tight,
then tighten them in a crisscross
pattern with the wheel nut wrench
until the wheel is firmly against
the hub. Do not try to tighten
them fully.
Lower the vehicle to the ground
and remove the jack.
