WARNING
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where
the wheel attaches to the vehicle.
In an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust
or dirt off. See
If a Tire Goes Flat
on page 9 ‑ 71 .
9. Remove any rust or dirt from the
wheel bolts, mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.
10. Place the compact spare tire
on the wheel-mounting surface.
{
WARNING
Never use oil or grease on bolts
or nuts because the nuts might
come loose. The vehicle's wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.
11. Reinstall the wheel nuts with
the rounded end of the nuts
toward the wheel. Tighten each
nut as much as possible using
the wheel wrench until the
wheel is held firmly against
the hub.
Use your free hand to prevent
the wheel from turning while
you are tightening.
12. Lower the vehicle by
turning the jack handle
counterclockwise. Lower
the jack completely.
