Removing the Flat Tire

1. Loosen Bolts: Use the jack handle or wrench to slightly untighten the screws before lifting the car.
2. Position the Jack: Align the jack with the indicator triangle on the car's frame.
3. Lift the Car:
   • Use the jack to lift the car until there is about half an inch of space between the tire and the ground.
   • Ensure stability before proceeding.
4. Remove the Screws and Tire:
   • Fully unscrew the bolts.
   • Remove the flat tire by pulling it out.

Installing the Spare Tire

1. Align the Spare Tire: Place the spare tire onto the hub.
2. Install Nuts:
   • Start with the first nut, followed by the second, and continue sequentially.
3. Partially Tighten Nuts: Tighten the nuts just enough to hold the tire in place.

Finalizing the Change

1. Lower the Car: Carefully lower the jack to bring the car back to the ground.
2. Fully Tighten Screws:
   • Ensure all screws are tightly secured after the car is fully lowered.
