4. Operate jack from the front or the rear of the vehicle.
Place the jack under the axle tube, as shown. Do not raise
the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right.
Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface

and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.
Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.

WARNING!

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.

6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.

7. Position spare wheel/tire on vehicle and install lug
nuts with cone-shaped end toward wheel. Lightly tighten
nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered.

8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left,
and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
