Mount Spare Tire
Align the installing hole of the spare wheel with
the installing hole in the brake disc.
Caution
Before installing the tire, be sure to use a
wire brush (or similar tool) to remove all
corrosive items from the installing surface.
When installing the wheel nuts, use your hand
to tighten them first. Then, push the wheel
backwards to see if it can be tightened a bit
more.
Turn the jack handle clockwise to lower the
vehicle.
Use the wheel assembly wrench to tighten the
wheel nuts. Aside from your hand, do NOT use
other tools or leverage tools like a hammer, a
pipe or a foot, and be sure that the wrench is
tight on the nut.
Following the sequence as shown in the figure
and evenly tighten the wheel nuts.
