6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to
initially tighten them.
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground, by rotating the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise.
Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem
(I) facing outward. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel
installed backwards can cause vehicle
damage and result in an accident.
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
compact spare tire as shown in the illustra-
tion, but return to the original wheel and tire
as soon as possible.
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
On vehicles with aluminum wheels, if all 4
aluminum wheels are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts.
