—Raising your vehicle
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.
Normal cab models—To raise the vehicle,
insert the jack handle into the jack (it is
a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the
jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double-check that it is properly positioned.
Xtra-cab models—To raise the vehicle, in-
sert 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 positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
—Changing wheels
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.
