3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To
loosen the nuts, turn the wrench
handle counterclockwise. When doing
this, be sure that the socket is seated
completely over the nut so it cannot
slip off. For maximum leverage, posi-
tion the wrench so the handle is to the
right as shown in the drawing. Then,
while holding the wrench near the end
of the handle, pull up on it with steady
pressure. Do not remove the nuts at
this time. Just loosen them about one-
half turn.

5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the
wheel nut wrench, install the wrench
bar into the jack as shown in the
drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the
wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the
jack begins to raise the vehicle, double
check that it is properly positioned and
will not slip. If the jack is on soft
ground or sand, place a board, brick,
flat stone or other object under the
base of the jack to keep it from sink-
ing.
