If you are replacing the front tire (with aluminum wheels) with the temporary spare tire, you need to remove the black dust shield. Gently pull the shield over the rubber o-rings and slide it off the wheel studs. Because the rubber o-rings are soft, they should pass through the holes in the shield. If the rings do not pass through the holes, remove them from the wheel studs. Save the black dust shield for future use, and ensure the rubber o-rings are removed from wheel studs. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure that the air valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts, tightening until the wheel is snug against the hub. The beveled edges on the lug nuts face inward. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until you lower the vehicle. If you do, you could force the vehicle off the jack. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 3. 4. 5. 6. 194
