6. After making sure that no one is in
the vehicle, raise it high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire
than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle
extension into the jack (it is a loose fit) and
turn it clockwise with the handle, making
sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto
the jack handle extension. As the jack
touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double-check that it is properly posi-
tioned.
Never get under the vehicle when it
is supported by the jack alone.
CAUTION
!
7. Remove the wheel nuts and change
tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the holes in the wheel with the bolts.
Then lift up the wheel and get at least the
top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle
the tire and press it back over the other
bolts.
