- Slide the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as
far as it will go.

and turn the wheel bolts counter-clockwise
about one single turn in the direction of arrow

Tightening
- Slide the wheel wrench onto the wheel bolt as
far as it will go.
- Take tight hold of the end of the wrench handle
and turn each wheel bolt clockwise until it is
seated.
WARNING
- Do not use force or hurry when changing a
wheel - you can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack and cause serious personal injuries.
- Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than
one turn before you raise the vehicle with
the jack. - You risk an injury.
Tips
- Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle
of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten
the wheel bolts.
- If a wheel bolt is very tight, you may find it
easier to loosen by carefully pushing down
on the end of the wheel bolt wrench with
one foot only. As you do so, hold on to the
car to keep your balance and take care not
to slip.
