Roadside Emergencies Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. 1. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove the beauty cap by twisting the tip under the cap. The carpeted floor lid can be used as a kneeling pad. 2. Loosen each wheel lug nut by half a turn, but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground. 3. Assemble the jack handle extension on the lug nut wrench by sliding the square end of the jack handle through the plastic grommet on the lug nut wrench and into the square hole on the other side. If equipped with a two-piece extension, assemble the two-piece extension by sliding the two halves together. 197 2003 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
