d) Loosen the wheel mounting nuts.
Note: Only raise the vehicle high enough to remove or change a wheel.
e) Before installing the wheel, remove rust from the mounting surface with a wire brush or similar tool. Installing a wheel without good metal-to-metal contact on the mounting surface may cause the wheel nuts to become loose and even cause the wheel to come off while driving. Therefore, check that the nuts are securely fastened.
