Pry off the wheel ornament, using the beveled end of the wheel nut wrench as shown. 4. Loosen all the wheel nuts. Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle.

Grab the wrench near the end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that the wrench does not slip off the nut. Do not remove the nuts yet-just unscrew them about one- half turn. 5. Position the jack at the correct jack point as shown. Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place. CAUTION Do not try to pull off the ornament by hand.
