5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise.
Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the
ground surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Mount the spare tire on the axle.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter-
clockwise, and remove the jack.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the
wrench while tightening for increased leverage.
Alternate nuts until each nut has been tightened
twice. Refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifi-
cations” in “Technical Specifications” for correct lug
nut torque. If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.
11. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut torque with
a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are
properly seated against the wheel.
12. Remove the jack assembly and wheel blocks.
13. Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations.
CAUTION!
Before raising the wheel off the ground, make sure that
the jack will not damage surrounding truck parts and
adjust the jack position as required.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided.
