Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools
from the stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the
wheel lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise one turn while the
wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools.
Connect the jack handle driver to the
extension, then to the lug wrench.
• Locate the jack:
• For the front tires, place it
(rearward) of the notch on the body
weld seam behind the wheel to be
changed.
• For the rear tires, place it under the
axle by the wheel to be changed.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle
only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the spare tire.
• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if
equipped) and the wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the
cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or
wheel cover on the compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To
avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove the
jack and wheel blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for
increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The
correct wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer
or at a service station.
• Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
