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
Changing a Flat Tire on
page 6 ‑ 80 .
8. Remove any rust or dirt
from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces and
spare wheel.
9. Install the spare tire.
{
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.
10. Put the wheel nuts
back on with the
rounded end of the
nuts toward the wheel.
Tighten each wheel nut
by hand. Then use the
wheel wrench to
tighten the nuts until
the wheel is held
against the hub.
