When reinstalling the full plastic wheel cover, align the
valve stem symbol, which is molded in the back side of
the cover, with the valve stem. Start replacing the nut
cap by pushing it into the lug nut with the wheel
wrench. Tighten the plastic caps snugly using the wheel
wrench, then continue tightening one

Do not overtighten.
If you have an aluminum wheel with a center cover
that conceals the wheel nuts, the following directions
will help.
Insert the flat end of the wheel wrench into the notch
and pry off the center cover. Do not drop the cover or
lay it face down, as it could be scratched or damaged.
When replacing the cover after the wheel is put back
on the vehicle, do not use a hammer or mallet to install
the cover.
If you have aluminum wheels with nut caps, remove
them with the wheel wrench.
When reinstalling the decorative nut caps on aluminum
wheels, tighten the caps snugly with the wheel wrench,
