• Remove/pull away the spare wheel
2.6.3 Wheel Nut Loosening
Wrap the tip of a screw driver with cloth, insert it near the lugs of the wheel cap (if
equipped) and pry the cap away from the wheel.
Do not try to pry off the wheel cap by hand alone. Take due care in handling the
wheel cap to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counter
clockwise to loosen as per the sequence. To get maximum leverage, fit the spanner
to the nut so that the handle is on the left side. Grab the spanner near the end of the
handle and push down on the handle. Be careful that the spanner does not slip off
the nut. Do not remove the nuts, but loosen them by one or two turns.
Do not apply force with your legs (or stand) on the wheel spanner while
loosening/tightening the wheel nuts.
