TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY (STEEL WHEEL)
1) Raise the vehicle so the tire and wheel assembly clears ground level.

Fig. 12 NUTS SECURING WHEEL COVER:

2) Noting the location of the valve stem in relationship to the wheel mounting nuts, remove the three wheel mounting nuts securing the wheel cover to the wheel and hub (Fig. 12).

CAUTION: When removing the wheel cover, do not pry the wheel cover from the wheel. This can result in damage to the wheel cover. The wheel cover is removed by pulling it off the wheel by hand.

3) Grasp the wheel cover at the edges in line with the remaining installed wheel mounting nuts and pull straight outward from the wheel. This will pop the wheel cover retaining tabs over the two remaining wheel nuts, removing the wheel cover from the vehicle.
4) Remove the two remaining wheel mounting nuts from the hub's studs.
5) Remove the wheel and tire from the hub.
