Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire If the vehicle has steel wheel covers with center caps, the wheel nuts are hidden behind the cap. To remove the wheel cover, do the following: 1. Pry off the center cap by using the flat end of the wheel wrench at the notch on the cap. 2. Use the wheel wrench to loosen the plastic wheel nut caps in a counterclockwise direction. If needed, finish loosening them by hand. The nut caps will not come off. 3. Use the flat end of the wheel wrench and pry along the edge of the cover until it comes off. Pull off the wheel cover and set it aside. The edge of the wheel cover could be sharp, so don't try to remove the cover with your bare hands. Do not drop the cap or lay it face down, as it could become scratched or damaged. If the vehicle has aluminum wheels and wheel center caps, the wheel nuts are hidden behind the center cap. Pry off the center cap by using the flat end of the wheel wrench at the notch. Do not drop the cap or lay it facedown, as it could become scratched or damaged. Once you have removed the wheel cover or center cap, use the following procedure to remove the flat tire and install the spare tire. 5-73
