02 MY MR2 SMT(U) L/O 0108 -Blocking the wheel -Loosening wheel nuts -Positioning the jack SB41035 SB41027 SB41036 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 from the front for the front wheels or from the rear for the rear wheels. 3. Loosen all the wheel nuts. Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to loosen. 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. 4. Position the jack at the correct jack point as shown. Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place. 157 01 05 22
