Problems on the Road
. . . 404
If the flat tire is on a front wheel,
place the jack to the rear of the flat
tire, on the area of the frame
where the sections overlap.
If the flat tire is on a rear wheel,
place the jack to the rear of the flat
tire, on the rear axle jacking pad.
Attach the wheel wrench to the
jack handle or extension and turn
it clockwise to raise the jack head
to the jacking point.
Raise the jack until the jack head
fits firmly into place.
Then raise the vehicle off the
ground until there is room for the
spare tire to fit.
CAUTION
Getting under a vehicle when it
is jacked up is dangerous. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed.
Never get under a vehicle when
it is supported only by a jack.
Remove the wheel nuts and take
off the tire.
Remove any dirt or rust from the
wheel bolts, mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.
