Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
If your vehicle has wheel covers with center caps, the
wheel nuts are hidden behind the cap. The center
cap must be removed before you can remove the flat
tire and install the spare tire.
To remove a center cap, use the wrench to pry gently at
the notch on the cap. Do not use a tool that is narrower
than the wrench to pry at this notch. Then pry off
the cap.
Use the wheel wrench to loosen the plastic nut caps in
a counterclockwise direction. If needed, finish
loosening them by hand. The nut caps will not come off.
Then, using the flat end of the wheel wrench, pry
along the edge of the wheel cover until it comes off. Be
careful; the edge may be sharp. Do not try to remove
the cover with your bare hands.
Once you have removed the center cap or wheel cover,
use the following procedure to remove the flat tire
and install the spare tire.
1. Place the wheel wrench securely over the wheel nut.
Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to loosen
all the wheel nuts, but do no remove them yet.
