Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire 1. If your vehicle is equipped with the 8 inch (20 cm) hubcap, use the wheel wrench to begin loosening the plastic wheel nut caps. Once you have loosened the plastic wheel nut caps with the wheel wrench, you can finish loosening them with your fingers. Once the plastic wheel nuts have been loosened, pull the hubcap off by hand. If your vehicle is equipped with either the 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) or the 4 inch (10 cm) hubcap, first remove the decorative nut caps using the wheel wrench. 2. Then use the wheel wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, but do not remove them yet. 3. The jack has a bolt at the end. Attach the wheel wrench to the bolt to create a jack handle. 4. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the jack head until it fits under the vehicle. 5. Near each wheel well is a notch in the plastic trim panel to position the jack head. You will find the word JACK and an arrow stamped into the plastic near each notch. Position the jack under the vehicle and raise the jack head until it fits firmly against the sheet metal next to the word JACK. Do not raise the vehicle yet. Put the compact spare tire near you. 5-82
