Removing the Wheel You must take off the wheel cover or hubcap to reach the wheel bolts. For steel wheels with full plastic covers and aluminum wheels with large circular center caps, do the following: 1. Loosen all five hex-shaped plastic caps by turning the wrench counterclockwise. Do not try to remove plastic caps from the cover or center cap. Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire 1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts. Don't remove them yet. 2. Pull the cover or center cap away from the wheel and place it in the trunk. When reinstalling full plastic covers or center caps, tighten all five plastic caps hand snug with the aid of the wheel wrench and tighten them with the wheel wrench an additional one-quarter of a turn. 2. The jack has a bolt head at the end. Attach the wheel wrench to the jack bolt head and rotate the wheel wrench clockwise (to the right). That will raise the lift head a little. 3. Move the jack over to where the flat tire is. 5-82
