jacking point. It is too easy for
the vehicle to tilt or fall and you
can be injured.
7. Remove the wheel lug nuts with
the lug wrench.
8. Replace the flat tire with the
spare tire, making sure the valve

snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
9. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

Mazda recommended (1/2–20)
replacement fasteners.
11. Stow the flat tire. Refer to
Stowing the spare tire.
