The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission. pg. 83 Wheel changing (cont.) Jack attachment There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment as shown in illustration A above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment. Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs. Installing the wheel Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the nuts to 81 ft. lbs. (110 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable). Correct tightening order for wheel bolts WARNING! The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on the jack's attachment (B). Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the end of the car being worked on. Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission). Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased.
