IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY ! CAUTION Do not try to pull off the ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 2. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of the front wheels or behind the rear wheels. 3. Remove the wheel ornament. Pry off the wheel ornament, using the screwdriver as shown. 4. Loosen all the wheel nuts. Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen them. To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle is on the right side, as shown above. 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. 153
